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.

POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character brought to the breaking point when his home in Paradise, Arizona is unjustly repossessed. Believing the repossession is part of a demonic conspiracy to dominate humanity, he unleashes relentless vengeance across 17 distinct locations. Navigate through a small town to a heavily guarded military complex using a third-person premeditated perspective. Employ strategic combat tactics against armed locals in this intense indie action horror experience developed by Running With Scissors.
