Second Front is a profoundly deep strategy game, born from the developers’ passion and experience with realistic and tabletop tactical board games.
Second Front delivers the tactical depth and breadth that genre enthusiasts have been dreaming of for years.
One of the standout features of Second Front is its authentic depiction of World War II tactics and strategy.
If you find yourself facing a heavily defended objective point, you can't simply charge in with your infantry or vehicles. You'll need to use tactics like suppressing the enemy with superior firepower, laying down smoke cover, or calling in artillery to keep the enemy's heads down.
This adds an extra layer of realism and challenge to the game and ensures that every battle is a unique and engaging experience.
Every objective and challenge presents its own unique set of challenges and opportunities.
For example, if you need to take a bridge to advance in a scenario, you'll need to carefully consider your options. Do you use your tanks and risk coming under fire from hidden anti-tank guns, or do you send in assault teams and flamethrowers to take out the pillboxes? The choice is yours but be prepared for a gritty and unforgiving World War II experience that will test your tactical skills to the limit.
