• Summary: Exploring an alternative approach on World War II, one in which Hitler is assassinated in the early days, players take command of experimental weapons, prototype vehicles and units rarely seen in strategy games in an attempt to re-write or secure the historical outcome. War Front is a WWII 3D RTS game providing fast-paced, adrenaline pumping conquests. Players feel the atmosphere of WW2 in a new environment; besides commanding their existing units, they have to care about reinforcements, resource management and researching new prototypes. 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 help you to win subsequent campaigns. Each mission has multiple primary and secondary objectives that are connected to other missions, providing almost limitless strategic choices. War Front is definitely not a 'historic simulation' but a game with FUN being its number one priority. Expect slightly excessive explosions. [CDV] Expand

  1. One of the better RTS games we've played that at least tries to avoid the clichés that have riddled this genre for so long. Kudos goes to the developers, if not huge profits.
  2. The game is enjoyable. Unfortunately, aside from the mix of fantasy and historical truth, there is little to make this game stand apart from other WWII RTS games.

    I mostly agree with Steele X's review. I actually enjoyed this game because it has an entertaining story (if some what cheesy), 3 factions with a nice variety of units and upgrades. Most of all I enjoyed the game's story how there is no Hitler and the Russians are the bad guys. Expand

    So far, I am enjoying this game.....have not completed it . Graphics seem fine. The big problem for me was during installation. If you are having difficulties you may need to download tages protection drivers. After I did that things finally worked correctly. Enjoyable so far. Expand

    The idea of the game is great, those weapons that weren't used in WWII such as Mause tank were put into the game, or the fps mode when controlling bunkers. But what made the game bad was its graphics and balances. Expand
