Narrow Front: Android first, iOS planned
· By Satyajit Pradhan, founder of Matterward Labs · Updated
Narrow Front is a portrait WWII strategy game in development by Matterward Labs. Android is the first platform; iOS is planned. Each battle has a headquarters at each end and a road between them. You spend supply to send squads and tanks up that road, fight from cover, take the farmhouses that matter, and call in support when the other side counterattacks.
The current development build
- Campaign. Ten missions are planned, set at real places and dates from June 1944 to March 1945. The route runs from Colleville to Remagen; the opening encounters are in development. The characters are fictional, and each mission is a small action.
- Skirmish. Battles against the computer on Farmstead Front, at five ranks from Recruit to Ace, lasting three, five or eight minutes. More battlefields are planned.
- Infantry and armour. Rifle sections, machine guns, anti-tank teams, mortars, scouts and engineers, with tanks and support tactics behind them.
Battles are played against the computer. Skirmish works offline, and the campaign is being developed for offline play. The optional rewarded ads require a connection. Multiplayer is not available in the current build.
What is not decided yet
There is no release date and no price yet. The roster and the campaign are still in production, so names and numbers on this site may change before launch. When something is decided, it will be posted here first.
