    Too poor for game, which based on the trilogy of great realistic wargames, based on the Cold War. It so good in comparison with other wargames on the market, but it seems like a not improved wargame and cropped wargame. 4 points for improved infantry battles in comparison with wargames, and and for a slightly more interesting campaign aand...don't know what else would have prompted me toToo poor for game, which based on the trilogy of great realistic wargames, based on the Cold War.

    False advertisement on realist data,units and gameplay ,there aren't any respect on real Normandy other than very few instance such as beute firefly which is a historical fact. jumbo has better armor than King tiger and about 3 time the armor piecing damage increment from maximum firing range.

    Aside from their marketing,the game itself is a mess,demanding load out yet pathetic graphic    False advertisement on realist data,units and gameplay ,there aren't any respect on real Normandy other than very few instance such as beute firefly which is a historical fact. jumbo has better armor than King tiger and about 3 time the armor piecing damage increment from maximum firing range.

    Aside from their marketing,the game itself is a mess,demanding load out yet pathetic graphic output not even in 2015 can be tolerable. Network issue every 10 games in US is quite common, music are very repetitive and the game can barely go beyond 50 hours for the price aside for very short campaign with total of 12 extreme similar objective.

    Beside false advertisement,this game also has to do with paradox who notorious in dlc ,expensive dlc for very minor game patching,pity that they abandon their generous dlc policy before this BS.the devs put shame on wargame series and might be the final nail on the coffin after AOA debacle.

    Some people think it could be wargame:ww2 but this is not wargame nor ww2, only some ww2 theme cosplayers fighting on Normandy.

    I won't suggest this to my worst enemy,that will be PUBG or something.    … Expand

    While the gameplay can feel rushed sometimes, Steel Division nevertheless is a great game that authentically recreates the World War II conflict and brings some new ideas to the RTS genre.

    Despite its visual similarities with Wargame series, Steel Division Normandy 44 is nothing like it gameplay-wise. “If a bunch of tanks couldn’t take care of a problem, just send more next time” way of thinking doesn’t work here: two infantry platoons, a reconnaissance unit and a properly placed AT gun can lay waste to a whole battalion. And if you throw some machineguns and a mortar into that mix, enemy’d be hard-pressed to crack this nut without some serious artillery support. [Issue#222, p.52]

    A highly detailed look at a period of history that still manages to fascinate gamers after all these years. [Issue#264, p.69]
