About This Demo

Dust Front is a classic RTS with elements of 4X / grand strategy. The action takes place on a planet devastated by many wars and upheavals, where under a thick layer of soot and concrete buried remnants of humanity's former might.

And while most of the game revolves around conquering the global map, I still decided that you can try out the RTS battles earlier.

WHAT AWAITS YOU IN THE DEMO

The RTS part of the game consists of army battles, resource gathering, unit production, and base building.

• Siege of an industrial city - one of several types of battles focused on macro. The enemy has fortified military bases. You will need to establish your positions and clear the area.

• Two opponents to choose from:

  • Bandit Faction - the starting faction that exists in the gray zones of the global map, primarily focused on light and fast units.

  • Mutant Faction - an enemy that inspires horror. Heavy units, disgusting worms and flies. Lots of heavy armor; they force close-quarters combat.

• Technologies are unlocked - units and buildings from some high-tier doctrines will be available to you. This is necessary to put up a decent fight against the enemy hordes.

• Strike groups and Reinforcements - in the main game, you assemble an army to advance into a neighboring sector. Part of the army deploys immediately, while the rest becomes available as reinforcements. You are provided with an interface to simulate this process.

• Procedural map - in the demo, the mission type is fixed, but the map is always slightly different.

• Difficulty and scale settings - whether the enemy is tough or easy is determined by a convenient multiplier. If you want to make the enemy base four times larger, that can be arranged.
