Homefront is a first-person shooter set in 2027 America under North Korean occupation. You play as a resistance fighter battling through suburban neighborhoods, shopping malls, and city streets that have become war zones. The campaign was written by John Milius, screenwriter of Red Dawn and Apocalypse Now. Combat alternates between infantry firefights and vehicle sections where you pilot tanks, helicopters, and other military hardware. Multiplayer modes support large-scale battles with the same vehicle variety. The setup hinges on a decade-long global energy crisis that collapsed world economies and left the U.S. vulnerable to invasion. Expect a tone that leans into guerrilla warfare against occupying forces rather than traditional military scenarios. If you're curious about alternate-history shooters with a focus on asymmetric conflict, this delivers that premise without subtlety.
