War Front: Turning Point is a real-time strategy developed by Digital Reality studio with several other games of this genre on their account. This time, the background to the production is the Second World War, which, however, took place in an alternative way to what we know from the pages of history.

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.
