Homefront®: The Revolution is an open-world first person shooter where you must lead the Resistance movement in guerrilla warfare against a superior military force.
Developed by Dambuster Studios · Published by Deep Silver









In an alternate-timeline Philadelphia under North Korean occupation, you play as Ethan Brady, a member of the Resistance fighting to free the city and rally its oppressed population.
Explore connected urban districts and take on patrols and military positions using ambushes, stealth, sabotage, hacking, or direct firefights. The city’s red and yellow zones offer different kinds of encounters, and motorcycles help you travel through some areas.
Build up the Resistance by liberating districts, recruiting fighters, and establishing bases and safehouses. Customize weapons in the field, craft improvised equipment, and use the changing mood of civilians as the rebellion gains ground. The single-player campaign is joined by online co-op missions.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its oppressive urban atmosphere, detailed Philadelphia setting, and the way district liberation can make the Resistance feel as if it is gaining ground. Weapon customization and adaptable combat also stand out as fun features. Some reviewers additionally value the included TimeSplitters 2 content, while others find the campaign’s activities repetitive or its systems rough.
