Overview
Description

Homefront is a cinematic first-person shooter set in a 2027 America that has been crippled by an energy crisis and occupied by a North Korean military force. Players step into the shoes of a civilian resistance fighter, navigating suburban battlegrounds and urban environments to take back their homeland. Crafted with a compelling single-player story by John Milius, the game combines intense infantry combat with vehicle-based warfare. Alongside its narrative campaign, Homefront delivers a robust multiplayer experience that plunges players into large-scale warfare for control of a land stripped of freedom.

Freedom Fighters is a tactical third‑person shooter set in an alternate 1950s where the Soviet Union has invaded the United States. Players command a guerrilla squad, using cover, teamwork, and strategic planning to reclaim cities and inspire the populace. The game offers both a compelling single‑player campaign and robust multiplayer modes, allowing you to fight solo or coordinate with friends in various objective‑based matches.
