Rising Front is a single-player battle simulator set across World War I, the Revolutionary War, and the Franco-Prussian War. Play scenarios as one side in a conflict, or set up battles of your own.
Deploy infantry and other units, direct troops from an overhead command view, or join the fighting in first person. Build defenses, use artillery and air support, and take part in combat involving vehicles and cavalry.
Sandbox and scenario-creation modes let you choose forces and shape battles, while individual scenarios provide set situations and objectives. Workshop content adds community-made maps, units, weapons, and other battlefield items.
Players who enjoy Rising Front often point to its large-scale battles, flexible sandbox and scenario tools, and Workshop mods as reasons to experiment with different historical or imagined matchups. Some also appreciate switching between commanding troops and fighting on the ground. Other reviewers find battles repetitive or the AI and controls too rough to make those possibilities consistently engaging.
