Heroes of Normandie is a turn-based strategy game set during the World War II, and an adaptation of a 2014 board game released under the same title. The game is characterized by somewhat sophisticated set of rules, dynamic gameplay, and a light, humorous mood. It was developed by Cat Rabbit with the of Slitherine Strategies, a developer studio specializing in all kinds of niche strategy games.
The action takes place right after the D-Day, the Allied landing in Normandy in 1944. The player can take command of one of the three playable armies: American, British, or German. Each of them has a vast arsenal of distinctive units and equipment as well as unique special abilities (represented by cards). Apart from that, each side of the conflict has a separate campaign story, in which the main roles are played by the eponymous heroes, such as the German field marshal von Kamptz, or The Rock, a machine gun loving US trooper.
The developers have also prepared some quick battles and special mini-scenarios for the Rogue mode that offers higher difficulty level. The players can also compete against human opponents. Heroes of Normandie comes with a map editor that allows us to create our own battlefields and armies, and share them with the rest of the gaming community.
The visuals in Heroes of Normandie are simple; they consist mostly of elements taken from the original board game transformed into quasi 3D and enhanced with simple animations and special effects. Despite that, the game looks quite pleasant and runs smoothly even on old machines.
