Gameplay
[edit | edit source]WWII: Normandy is a first-person shooter that places players in the role of a paratrooper from the 101st Airborne Division, dropped behind enemy lines near Utah Beach during the D-Day invasion. The game attempts to capture the chaos and isolation of the mission, where scattered troops must form improvised units to clear paths for landing forces and block enemy reinforcements. Gameplay unfolds across ten short levels, with a few bonus maps available via patch. Missions are brief and can be completed in roughly three hours on standard difficulty. Players face off against German soldiers. The arsenal is minimal—just a machete, pistol, rifle, machine gun, bazooka, grenades, and land mines. Land mines a strategic element, allowing players to eliminate groups of enemies with careful placement.[2]
Development
[edit | edit source]The game uses the same engine as Kiss: Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child.[3]
