What Homefront is
Homefront is a shooter game developed by Digital Extremes and released in 2011. It was published by Spike. It is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 3.
The premise, in the publisher's words
The year is 2027. The world has suffered a decade-long energy crisis, and economies have crumbled. Reduced to a mere shadow of the super power it once was, the United States became the target of a North Korean takeover. American malls, suburbs and city streets are now battlegrounds as the civilian resistance fights for freedom.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, fantasy, historical and warfare. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Multiplayer and Single player. There are 47 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Homefront holds a critic score of 74 out of 100. That places it above 52% of the 3,305 rated shooter games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2011 averaged 68, so it scored 6 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 71, across 218 votes.
