AXIS & ALLIES 1942 ONLINE is Coming to Steam via Early Access
Axis & Allies is a very popular strategy board game and now many more will be diving into the fun as Beamdog is bringing Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition to the digital world. Axis & Allies 1942 Online is an official adaptation of the classic board game and will be available on Steam via Early Access for Linux, macOS, and PC starting on July 31.
“German tanks mobilize in the west, blitzing into France and pushing back the Soviet Union in eastern Europe. The United States rises in response to Japanese aggression in the Pacific. The United Kingdom rallies allies as bombers menace the skies. The year is 1942, and the world is at war!
Axis & Allies 1942 Online is an official adaptation of the beloved strategic board game, Axis & Allies, and includes the 1942 Second Edition game board and rules.
Axis & Allies 1942 Online accommodates 1-5 players, each controlling one or more of the Axis or Allied powers in multiplayer, one-on-one, hotseat, or AI mode. Players command both their country’s military forces and its war-time economy.
Victory goes to the side that conquers its opponents on the field of battle and occupies the greatest cities of the world. Will the Axis continue to spread across the globe unchecked, or will the Allies rally to push back against imperialistic tyranny? Challenge your friends and change the course of history!”
Axis & Allies 1942 Online will cost $19.99 which is par for the course of digital adaptations of board games, but I’m sure many will see it as worth it to play with up to 4 of their friends to reenact some of the battles from World War II with some possibly new outcomes than what we learned in History class. You’ll be able to play with friends online or via hotseat or you can even play against AI for those times when none of your friends are available.
