The first shots are being fired in
Warfare 1944, which is now available
in Early Access for Windows
on Steam.
This is a World War II tactical shooter developed by Drakeling Labs in
conjunction with undead publisher MicroProse. They say this release is to help
support further development of Drakeling's
Operation: Harsh Doorstop even though Warfare 1944 is still in its nascent
stages: "This is a very early version of the game, an alpha demo that is
primarily aimed at testing and feedback-gathering." A
Development Blog from a few weeks ago discusses the project, and the
Announcement Teaser Video
from the same time offers a look at gameplay. Here's word:
Fight on the
frontlines of World War 2 in this stylized tactical shooter. Engage in large
open environments with a variety of weapons and equipment during the pinnacle of
World War 2. Make smart decisions, and lead your team to victory.
Warfare 1944 focuses on tactical gameplay. Bullets are deadly, one shot can
kill. Team communication is essential and Warfare 1944 features robust proximity
voice communication which allows you to communicate with your fellow soldiers
alongside you. Wield a wide variety of weapons and equipment while you attempt
to survive the chaos of war. Rally your friends to your team, and fight in
massive battles across vast open landscapes. Keep your wits, and defeat your
enemies. Warfare is unforgiving.
