Awaited 3D RTS in March 2007 -
Developed
by Digital Reality, War Front: Turning Point
looks at an “alternate reality” to World War II where Hitler is
assassinated early on and new powers take over the German command and begin
using experimental weapons. In addition to a refreshing storyline, the game will
offer players sophisticated resource and technology management systems combined
with action packed, in-your-face combat. Players can choose what missions to
fight, what troops to use, and when to call in reinforcements. Completing
objectives and capturing strategic locations such as train stations or airfields
in each mission will make it easier to win subsequent campaigns. Each mission
has multiple primary and secondary objectives providing almost limitless
strategic choices.
Two
comprehensive single-player campaigns portray an epic struggle of
good-versus-evil with over 90 minutes of video sequences, detailed characters
and fast-paced tactical matches. At the same time, an action-packed
multiplayer mode allows for up to ten players to compete either against or
alongside each other in teams or as individuals playing as the Soviets, Germans
or Americans. The perfect balance
of power between the factions in the multi-player mode guarantees players can
enjoy online matches in the long
term.
What would happen if Hitler had
been assassinated early on in WWII and the German war machine came under control
of a new regime?
Digital Reality and 10tacle Studios AG aim to answer
that question in War Front: Turning Point, bringing gamers an "alternate
reality" real-time strategy game. Players will be exposed to a whole new WWII
timeline, new battles and a variety of secret and experimental weapons.
Eye-popping graphics and a refreshing plot will keep gamers pinned to
their PCs as they attempt to alter or ensure the outcome of a vastly different
World War II.
Some of the features of War Front
- The first "Science-Fiction/World War II" RTS title that combines resource
gathering, army building, base construction and a full-fledged technology tree
with an intuitive interface and accessible tactical combat in a style that will
delight casual and veteran strategy gamers alike.
- A detailed technology tree allows for a variety of recognized WWII weapons
along with special, nation-specific, secret and super weapons such as
multi-turreted tanks, jet-pack soldiers, stealth bombers, armored mechs and
more.
- Two single-player campaigns portray an epic struggle of good-versus-evil in
which Hitler is killed early in the war, taking history and the player in a
nail-biting new direction. The story is written by some of Hollywood's brightest
screenwriting talents and told through a mixture of immersive cinematic cut
scenes and fast-paced, tactical game play.
- An action-packed multiplayer mode allows for up to ten players to compete
against or cooperate with each other in teams or as individuals playing the
Soviets, Germans or Americans. An Internet-based ladder will serve to
memorialize the game's top tacticians world-wide.
- Players can control units in a traditional top-down RTS perspective or take
direct control and jump into turrets or attach to any combat vehicle for a
near-FPS experience.
- Three distinct heroes for each nation, each with its own special abilities
that can help turning the tide of battle in the player's favour. Heroes gain
experience and become more powerful, granting offensive and defensive bonuses to
allied troops while weakening opposing units.
"We came away from War Front thinking that the game is probably going to shape
up into something pretty fun to play. The graphical power of the game is pretty
obvious when you see it in motion, and the alternate-history timeline should
provide for some pretty unique surprises in the single-player campaigns." -
