Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "Atomic Games manages to take much of the tedium out of this tile-based wargame, enabling you to concentrate on strategy as you try to duplicate history, or if you're playing as the Nazis, change it."[1] William R. Trotter wrote for PC Gamer US, "Hats off, ladies and gents: a classic is born. Wargames just don’t get any better than this."[3]

Aftermath

As a consequence of Atomic Games' split with Avalon Hill in September 1995,[5] D-Day: America Invades was the two companies' last game together. According to Alan Emrich of Computer Gaming World, Atomic's Keith Zabalaoui called this "purely a business decision" and clarified that there was no ill will between the companies.[6]
