Enemy Front

Enemy Front for PC, PS3 and X360 is another FPP shooting game set in the time of World War II, but this time the focus was mainly on presenting the Warsaw Uprising, during which a huge portion of production takes place. The title was created by the Rzeszow and the London branch of City Interactive, which became famous mainly due to the series of Sniper: Ghost Warrior. For several months (from November 2010 to October 2012) the famous developer Stuart Black helped in the development of the game, who is responsible for, inter alia, a spectacular shooter called Black. Due to different visions of the game, the developers resigned from his services.

Plot

The player assumes the role of Robert Hawkins – an American war correspondent who came to Europe plunged into war to narrate all the events. Hawkins priorities changed quickly, however, when with his own eyes he saw the cruelty of the Nazis and therefore decided to join the resistance movement. The action of Enemy Front takes place during the Warsaw Uprising, but the developers used the memories of the main character to show the war in other countries, including Norway, France, and Germany.

Mechanics

The game does not differ from the rest of FPSs, being inspired by the classics of the genre like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. The game gives the players a series of tasks - from defending a church with a heavy machine gun, through sniping enemies, to the more open missions. During these stages the player can decide on his own how to get the job done, thus it is possible to attack enemies directly, but you might as well eliminate the individual soldiers quietly or by using various forms of sabotage (e.g. time bomb detonator, exploding barrels, etc.).

Technical aspects

Enemy Front for PC, PS3 and X360 is powered by the CryEngine 3 technology known from the Crysis series. The title, however, does not look as beautiful as the German shooter, as it is developed primarily for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Still, the game has its highlights, including the forest stages and the Warsaw uprising which was sought to reproduce as faithfully as possible.
