6 June 1944, the greatest military invasion in human history begins with over 150.000 Allied soldiers landing in Normandy to face the German Wehrmacht and bring an end to the Second World War. The German Reich has been taken by surprise and for the first time since 1939 it is at risk of a defeat. You have been given the glorious task of stopping the Allied invasion and defending the German territories on the western front.

Will you be worthy and protect the Fatherland?

Place your units in strategic positions, make use of special abilities, and manage resources to counter the incoming enemy waves on large maps with up to four lanes. The future of the Reich is in your hands. Are you up for the challenge?

Ongoing Development

Currently the game is in the first stage of development with two playable maps (D-Day Beach Landing, Bocage Village) including 8 player units ( e.g., Rifle, Scope, Machine Gun, Flamethrower, Landmine), 5 enemy units (e.g., Rifle, Submachine Gun, Machine Gun), and 4 special abilities such as Smoke Granade. A total of five maps with varying design and mechanics, and additional units such as vehicles are planned for the later stages of development in accordance to community feedback.


The current version of FTF includes:

• Eight tower units including a German Rifleman, a Sniper, a Machine Gunner, a Flamethrower, and a Landmine
  
• Five creep units e.g., a American Rifleman, a Submachine Gunner, and a Machine Gunner
  
• Four special abilities: Smoke Grenade, Mortar Strike, and Sniper Shot
  
• Upgrades for increased damage and unlockables
  
• All units vary in damage, cost, speed et cetera

Planned for the future:

• Flexible creep pathways and free placement of player units to allow more strategic variety
  
• Usable map effects and abilities such as artillery fire, boost etc.
  
• Advanced units including land vehicles and planes
  
• Three additional maps in different settings (Carentan, ???, ???)
