Description: It’s the beginning of June 1944. Five years since the start of World War II, the Third Reich continues their occupation of Europe. Allied forces decide to open a so-called “second front” in Western Europe to turn the tides of war. Operation Overlord – the biggest landing operation in history – is about to start. General Eisenhower sets June 6th as D-Day. Joint forces of American, British, and Canadian troops get ready to land on the Normandy coast. You are among the soldiers about to change the fate of the world.
Review: ‘Days of Heroes: D-Day’ is a World War II experience in which you will be sent out into the war either as someone fighting on the beach on D-Day, or as an airborne division jumper who descends into enemy territory. Lets first talk about the graphics because they are VERY low-poly, in fact, they are at times pretty atrocious. You still kind of get a sense of what it might have been like to be there, but it’s not what I would call deeply-immersive. It is kind of fun to land on the beach and avoid all the fire, but it never really feels exciting. While there isn’t enough content to justify even half the current £11.39 price tag I do think it’s worth a look if you ever see it for half-price or less especially if you like your war games. But I wouldn’t pay much more than a fiver for this as it simply doesn’t have the quality nor the content to justify paying anything else.
