Rising Front — Description

Rising Front is a single-player, massive-scale battle simulator that recreates the chaos of early modern warfare with tanks, cavalry, planes, and infantry. You can fight in immersive first-person action or command the entire front from a strategic, top-down perspective, shaping battles with precise orders and large-scale organization.

Modes, perspectives, and scale

Experience the action up close or direct the engagement from above. The game supports epic clashes with 1000+ units moving and fighting simultaneously, delivering a theater-wide feel that goes beyond traditional trench warfare. In addition to WW1 settings, players can engage in line battles across eras, offering dynamic options for defense, offense, and maneuver at a continental scale.

Armed forces: vehicles, aircraft, and cavalry

Vehicle combat is a core element, featuring over a dozen new vehicles and tanks, including experimental machines that never saw combat in WW1. Deploy armored formations, coordinate artillery support, and integrate ground and air power on the battlefield.

Air power is available through fighters and bombing runs, with 30+ planes and fire-support assets to aid your defense or pressure the enemy lines. Cavalry plays a dramatic role as well, with more than 20 cavalry units drawn from WW1-era, Revolutionary War, and Franco-Prussian War traditions—allowing for impactful charges and combined-arms tactics.

Land, air, and beyond: core systems

The game emphasizes authentic WW1 tactics and strategic depth. You’ll manage artillery to create breakthroughs, defend key positions, and coordinate multi-unit maneuvers across a vast map. A procedural cover system adapts the environment for tactical play, while rag-doll physics deliver dynamic combat reactions. AI commanding provides intelligent unit behavior, letting you direct complex operations or rely on competent allies as you shape the battle.

Customization and creation

Rising Front supports full workshop integration, enabling creation and sharing of maps, infantry, cavalry, tanks, fire support, player weapons, and buildables. Craft your own fronts, test novel tactics, and enact your personalized campaigns with a community-driven catalog of content.

Defend, fortify, and conquer

The Building System lets you fortify positions and construct defenses to hold ground under pressure. Trenches and fortified lines confront bold assaults, while the strategic layer challenges you to balance offense and defense across the battlefield.

Welcome to the trenches. Welcome to Rising Front.
