The combat for Enemy Front feels like a throwback to the games of the late nineties. You also have a stamina and ammo bar, with all three surrounded by a giant compass. Health appears to regenerate but won’t on higher difficulties. The heads up display looks chunky and cool, invading the right hand side of the screen but in a positive way. The look and feel, replicates such films as Inglourious Basterds and Where Eagles Dare and it has a slightly eccentric, over-the-top feel to it. Environments look lush and vibrant and the forest setting, where the demo took place, certainly had a European feel to it, with open spaces and quaint little farm houses.Įnemy Front may be based on an overused area of the genre but it’s certainly attempting to put its own style into that area. The game runs on CryEngine 3 and already looks very promising character models in particular look well detailed, all appear to react differently to being shot, depending on where they’re hit. The demo that I sat down with took place in France, early on in the campaign. For the most part, however, it is you against the world. The campaign will take place over several years and while you are very much alone, there are contacts that will aid you along the way. Set in various locations behind enemy lines, you take on the role of a lone solider, who’s only aim is to punch through the German war machine like a rhino in a greenhouse. This was what I lived on, growing up, and a return to this period in history is something that I’ve hoped would happen for some time. While I expect many people will be quick to judge this as just another World War II shooter, Enemy Front has its sights set on a totally different target and although the industry in general appears to have had enough of shooters in this era I, personally, have not. This sounds like a new and exciting concept, or at least it would be in upside-down land.
A first-person, World War II shooter, where you’re a lone solider behind enemy lines.
