Memoir ’44 Online is a digital adaptation of Days of Wonder’s award-winning, two-player wargame. Turn-based and card driven, the game has already attracted hundreds of thousands of players into 20-minute long skirmishes on the beaches of Normandy and in dozens of other famous World War II battles.
Memoir ’44 Online includes all the original elements (cards, dice, little plastic soldiers, and scenarios) that made the board game popular while virtually eliminating the learning curve by automating game setup, teaching the rules, and matching playing partners.
Following a long beta test phase, the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions of the game were publicly launched as a free download from Days of Wonder’s web site on the June 6 anniversary of D-Day. The game quickly attracted a devoted community of fans from all over the world, ensuring that players always find a willing opponent, regardless of time zone and play style.
With its launch on Steam, the game is now accessible to an even wider base of players. Thanks to a seamless integration into Steam, complete with an installer-less setup and a zero-click signup at first launch, Steam players can relive the most glorious hours of World War II within minutes of their download of the game.
Players automatically gain access to a dozen hours of free play, with continued play accessible through a flexible pay-to-play model based on Gold Ingots (the in-game currency) that can be purchased directly from their Steam Wallet. The game includes more than 50 scenarios in all the major Theaters of Operations of World War II, with all Ranks and Achievements also directly integrated into Steam.
“We are delighted by the opportunity Valve is giving us to bring Memoir ’44 Online to the Steam community,” explained Eric Hautemont, CEO of Days of Wonder. “In this integration we have focused our efforts on providing a totally seamless experience for Steam users with all setup, login and transactions handled directly via Steam. Strategy game fans will immediately feel at home and find themselves welcomed by our community of veteran Memoir ‘44 players.”
