Samar Studio have announced a closed beta test for their open world survival crafting game, The Front.
Players can sign up for the closed beta here. As this is a closed beta, those interested are required to sign a nondisclosure agreement. It also seems like having a Discord account is required for the beta as well.
Here’s a rundown of the game, plus a new gameplay trailer:
The Front
The Front tells the story of a world that has been ravaged by a brutal empire and overrun with monsters, bringing mankind to the brink of collapse. With the help of an artificial superintelligence called Aurora, players will use time travel technology to venture into the past in an effort to rewrite history and prevent humanity’s demise.
Key Features:
- Collect resources such as wood and stone, and search for valuable supplies in buildings scattered about the post-apocalyptic landscape.
- Use wood, stone, concrete, and steel to craft structures across different terrains, environments, and climates. Build detailed and realistic production systems to generate the supplies necessary for survival, such as crops.
- Protect your base from enemy NPCs wielding fearsome powers such as poison, explosions, and more. Carefully plan out your base to ensure that enemies are routed through its deadliest traps.
- Engage in deep tower defense gameplay, with interesting traps and defensive weapons such as springboards, flamethrowers, electric shock traps, poison sprayers, turrets, and more.
- Aircraft will randomly appear above the map and drop materials and supplies for which players will risk life and limb to obtain.
- Operate a variety of modern vehicles including main battle tanks, tank destroyers, armored personnel carriers, and attack helicopters, with more to come over the game’s development.
- Experience a wealth of other gameplay features including night vision devices, giant airships, reconnaissance, and much more.
The Front is expected to launch in Early Access later in 2023 for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store).
