A WW1-themed first-person shooter
Rising Front is a premium action game created by the game developer Sandstorm Studios Inc. It’s a first-person shooter with a WW1 theme to it and features ragdoll physics. It also places great emphasis on large-scale battles and a unique cover system during combat.
Just like with Verdun, Rising Front attempts to recreate the battles and scenarios of the WW1 era. Comparing the two, it forgoes some of the graphical fidelity in favor of more realistic physics. As a result, it contributes to better performance due to less intensive hardware requirements.
March the troops
In a nutshell, Rising Front is a first-person shooter set during the time of the first World War. It also incorporates elements of real-time strategy and simulation into the mix. Not only will you be taking part in battles, but you have to plan them out, too. It cleverly utilizes trench warfare with a unique cover system to provide a rather realistic and immersive experience.
Another stand-out aspect of Rising Front is that it’s able to support and simulate over 1,000 units at a given moment. This impressive feature allows for some large-scale battles to transpire all throughout the entire map if you choose it to. Aside from the aforementioned ragdoll physics in place, a special AI system was also devised that would help you issue out commands to your troops instantly.
You get a variety of artillery to choose from to gain an edge in battle or to help you create the perfect strategy. There’s also Steam Workshop support available to let you create mods and share them with others. As for when it will actually come out, there is no specific date as to when that will be, but it will still be in early access.
Engage in massive battles
Rising Front is an intriguing shooter with some big claims to live up to. It doesn’t look much graphics-wise but makes up for it with its gameplay. The ragdoll physics, combined with the smart AI and unique cover system will make for an interesting experience. It’s with the scale of its battles where all eyes are on, though, to see if they can be as massive as advertised.
