What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to get community feedback while we further expand the game with new features, mechanics and units.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Forward Defense to remain in Early Access for more than a year. We're a very small team and do not want to rush the development.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game only features the most important core mechanics. We're progressively expanding the game with more maps, mechanics and features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is roughly 50% finished, features 10 maps and 6 different Turret designs. We're tweaking gameplay based on community feedback and continuously fine-tune the statistics of our defensive structures for optimum balance.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We expect the full version to be priced similarly to the Early Access version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We listen very carefully to suggestions, ideas and complaints. You can find us on Discord, IndieDB.com, Youtube, Facebook and X. You can of course also reach out directly through Steam.”

About This Game

Join the United Coalition Force and defeat insurgent forces attempting to overrun and destroy your defenses. Build and repair a wide array of Turret Structures ranging from high velocity Smoothbore Cannons to Howitzers firing 155mm air burst shells. Use Hesco Walls to provide perimeter protection. Forward Defense combines turn-based gameplay with the look and feel of classic military style RTS games.

Balanced Unit & Turret Design

Choose from six different Turret designs and learn which ones work best in different situations. Rotary Cannons will work well against lightly armored targets, while Missile Launchers will be your best bet against long range hostiles. An easy to read Information Window will show you the stats you're looking for.

Unique & Detailed Maps

Visit uniquely detailed locations across a vast Middle Eastern country. Hold the line at a sabotaged oil refinery, defeat enemy forces in a war-torn destroyed city and defend fertile farmland near a mountainous village. Each level has a completely different layout so you have to take the environment into account when considering Turret placement.

The Backstory

"On June 6 2028, the United Coalition Force invaded the sovereign state of Kardastan. After a brutal three year war, the UCF succeeded in hunting down and assassinating the Kardastani dictator Haddar Sharif. The war sparked civil unrest and led to the rise of the Revolutionary Freedom Army, an insurgent faction who wishes to avenge Haddar Sharif."

Community-Driven Development

We're very open to community feedback and are expanding the game with new features, mechanics and units while keeping a close eye on performance. If you have any ideas or run into any issues, feel free to let us know!
