Airborne Troops: Countdown to D-Day is a third-person shooter with an emphasis on stealth action and commando-style tactics. Players take the role of lone soldier, behind enemy lines in occupied France during World War II. The game's missions are intended to re-create actual events that took place on or around the June 6, 1944, D-day invasion.

About half of the missions are defensive, calling on the hero to use stealth to avoid capture; the other half offer more traditional shooter gameplay, as the hero goes on the offensive. All locations, uniforms, weapons, equipment, and medals are designed to be historically accurate.

Airborne Troops is an absorbing infiltration action-adventure game that takes place in occupied France during the Second World War. On a mission to drop two secret agents into occupied territory the Sergeant's aircraft is shot down leaving one of his agents seriously wounded. It is now the Sergeant's duty to replace the ailing agent and complete the stealth missions himself. The gamer takes part in commando missions based on real events in the places where they actually happened, accurately recreated from archives and historical documents. The action is a mix of furious gunfights and stealth elements, with paratroopers equipped as they were at the time.

* Based on events that really took place during WWII.
* All weapons and equipment are truthful representations of the real thing.
* Airborne Troops is more of a tactical 3rd person shooter than a full-bore action title.
