I must have been distracted by Torchlight 2 to miss this. Meridian4 and developer Full Control have released preview screenshots of their upcoming tactical-strategy title, Frontline Tactics. The game is set in 2025 where the world still runs on oil (shocking isn’t it, one would think renewable energy instead of fossil fuels, anyways..).
A small splinter military group led by a madman named Akhali Muhamar threatens to take over the oil-rich nation of Fahrahn. The country is a large oil supplier to the Western world and national interests are threatened. An elite group of soldiers are called in to lead a proactive attempt to quell the uprising and attempt to maintain peace through military action before it turns into full scale war.
Frontline Tactics lets players command a modern, elite fighting unit over varied missions from defending and controlling a location or asset, to all-out elimination and survival. Outfit your soldiers with modern weapons, armor and equipment and give them the skills to succeed on the battlefield. Play against a ruthless and cunning AI in single player or simultaneously battle it out in multiplayer in versus or co-op modes over multiple platforms.
This sounds like a potentially successful Jagged Alliance-inspired game. Frontline Tactics will be available later this year for the PC, Mac and iPad. Stay tuned to Nineoverten.com for more details.
