This is a great Command&Conquer like game set in an alternate WW2 scenario.
While the gameplay is very similar to C&C Generals, the 3 playable factions (Allies, Germany, Sovjet Union) use a mix of original WW2 units and Sci-Fi units like exoskeletons, magnetic shields, frost tanks, sonic tanks. Units, which didn't come out of prototype state in RL, like the famous Mouse tank are also present.
I recommend the game especially for LAN multiplayer as it's fast-paces, easy to understand and fun.
Unfortunatly it didn't sold well back in the days and never got any little update after release. Nowadays it cannot be purchased anywhere and definatly is a Good old Game which should be available on gog.com.
Such a great RTS!
I played it a lot back in the days, it had such a unique setting despite coming out at the helm of the WW2-themed videogames-era. The alternative historical setting, the weapons, the atmosphere, it was all great. A pretty challenging game as a remember also. Would be nice to see it coming back.
What made Warfront: Turning Point unforgettable for me were the units, the story (cheesy as it is) and the hero upgrades and customization. It was fun trying out units that either were prototypes or just pure fantasy to see how they would work in a real war. I would love to see this game on GOG.com since while I still have the original disk, installing it is a problem simply due to age and more powerful hardware available. And knowing GOG's passion for restoring and modernizing old games and saving them from being lost media, I think this one is definitely worth at least looking at.
This was such a great game for me. I loved every minute of it. A great RTS far far ahead of its time! Mechanics and graphics were stunning for the time in which it was released. Please bring this one to GOG!!!!
