Get a deeper look into the gameplay of The Great War: Western Front with this new trailer

Petroglyph and Frontier Foundry have released a deeper look into the gameplay for The Great War: Western Front, an all-new RTS that has you making decisions, as you attempt to win the war.

The Great War: Western Front puts players in a unique ‘dual role’. Not only will they have real-time control of the battlefield as Field Commander, but they will also be able to oversee the overall war effort in the role of Theatre Commander. In the latter, players will manage the Western Front from a grand strategy map view, research new technologies, and bolster the offensive or defensive capabilities of key regions in an effort to turn the tide of the war.

During each turn, players are able to coordinate their forces and prepare for the battles to come. They will also need to weigh up the number of resources committed to every conflict, carefully considering the cost of achieving a major victory, or securing a stalemate. As Theatre Commander, their decisions will directly influence the odds of success when assuming control of the battlefield. Allocating precious assets such as additional supply, artillery, or researched technological advances, from aircraft to tanks, can provide players with opportunities to overwhelm the enemy.

That is just some of what awaits players in this unique RTS title, which is set to launch on PC in 2023, but a more exact date is not yet known.
