Meridan4 and Full Control have just released their game, Frontline Tactics on Steam for PC and Mac, with a version created for the iPhone and iPad due out sometime next month. The tactical strategy game drops players in the thick of a mission to quell an uprising by a splinter military group bent on overtaking the oil-rich nation of Fahrahn. Although it enjoys a robust single-player option, what really sets Frontline Tactics apart is its ability to let gamers play against each other in two different multiplayer modes, regardless of which version they are playing. So, players can be playing on their iPad/iPhone against others who may be playing on their Windows laptop or Mac.
“Frontline Tactics offers players a seamless gameplay experience with multi-platform support, enabling them to enjoy the game on their PC, Mac or iOS device,” said Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing at Meridian4. “In keeping with the competitive nature of the tactical strategy genre, gamers can also battle it out against other players in versus or co-op mode.”
In Frontline Tactics, the year is 2025 and the world still runs on oil. A problem is created when a small splinter military group led by a madman named Akhali Muhamar threatens to take over the oil-rich nation of Fahrahn and take all the oily goodness all for himself, how rude. The country of Frahrahn is the oil supplier for Western Countries and if Akhali Muhamar and his band of merry men take over, it would stop oil from reaching western borders and create quite a few problems. This is where you come in (queue heroic music). An elite group of soldiers are tasked with smashing the uprising and maintaining peace through a preemptive military strike before the situation turns into full scale war.
In Frontline Tactics, players command a modern, elite fighting unit as they take on critical missions, from defending and controlling a location or asset to all-out elimination and survival. Because the missions are diverse, outfitting your team with the right mix of weaponry, armor and equipment is critical to success on the battlefield. Play against a ruthless and cunning AI in single player or simultaneously frag it out in multiplayer in both Versus or Co-op modes
So what are you waiting for go and fight for that oil in Frontline Tactics right now!
