Players can choose to play as the Americans or the Germans with up to 32 others. The Russian and British forces will be added as free expansion in the near future.
The battles are objective based such as the game mode Domination; where players fight over 5 flags in successive order, and Detonation; where one side has to place explosives on a number of predetermined locations, with each success adding time to the game clock.
Soldiers can take the role of Marksman, Rifleman, Assault, Support, Specialist, Shotgunner, Machine Gunner, Sniper or Rocket Soldier, with each faction having their own unique weapons. Each class has their own strengths and weaknesses, so players will need to work together to get the most out of their chosen role.
FPS players need to fall back on their marksmanship, skill, map awareness and tactical cunning. Like in true WW2 warfare, combat in Days of War is brutal, unforgiving and requires extensive teamwork.
In Days of War, bullets are what matter, not kill-streaks, not wall jumps, and certainly not drone strikes ordered from iPads.

With full release, players will receive a multiplayer experience with a bevy of new weapons, maps, and more. In addition, users can build their own maps with a Map Editor and can hone their FPS skills in offline mode with bots.
"We’ve were hoping for a game like Days of War 10 years ago, and four years ago we decided that we’d be the ones to make it a reality,” says Lee Snodgrass, Co-Founder of Driven Arts. “We took our time to make sure Days of War truly was the game we had in our heads, and we’re proud to say we’re finally here. As a small studio, our community has been instrumental in shaping the game and getting us to the finish line, but this is by no means the end. We hope to support Days of War for another three years, now that we’ve got a solid foundation there’s a lot more that we want to do."
