Flakfire

There are a variety of weapons available in Beach Invasion. Machine guns are an important part. You start with the MG08 and can unlock the MG-42 light machine gun. It’s blistering fire-rate can make quick work of infantry.


Another weapon you’ll use is called the Panzerturm, which isn’t actually a turret from a typical Panzer tank. In fact, it’s from a canceled prototype VK 30.01 H heavy tank.


The last weapon is the infamous Flak 88. This canon is effective against everything from infantry to planes. For the big enemies in the game, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better solution.


Weapons

Setting up beach defenses is another aspect of Beach Invasion. There are a few options with the cheapest being the explosive barrel. This places barrels on the beach, which can be shot at opportune times.


Next are mines. These are effective against infantry and will detonate without any assistance. Mines can help whittle down the waves of enemies so it’s a bit less hectic and can be placed in three sections of the beach.


Lastly is the artillery barrage. The strike blankets the entire beach in artillery, doing significant damage to any units present. It is the most expensive buy in the game, so use it wisely.


Defense

There are quite a few different enemy types in Beach Invasion. These come in a wide variety, and you’ll spot enemies with rifles, bazookas, flamethrowers and more. Paratroopers are also a common sight and present a unique challenge for players.


For ground vehicles, you’ll need to engage everything from jeeps to armored cars, tanks, and halftracks. These have different levels of armor, so you’ll have to learn which weapons are effective and cycle through them accordingly.


There’s also the matter of land and sea. In addition to landing craft, you’ll also have to contend with fast attack boats, which will shell your positions. For aircraft, you’ll have to keep an eye out for fighters, bombers, and air transports.

Beach Invasion 1994

When it comes to game design, sometimes simplicity is good. Beach Invasion 1944 is an indie title built largely by two people and puts a twist on a twist on the traditional World War II fantasy, by having you defend the beaches of Normandy instead of storming them. Ironically, you develop a new appreciation for the challenges faced by allied soldiers storming the beaches and realize how brutal that brand of World War II fighting was.
