Guardians Frontline is a sci-fi VR shooter that makes you a soldier and a commander. Fight off enemies and build bases in a single-player and co-op campaign, plus PvP game modes with full cross-play support.
The game seamlessly blends first-person shooter (FPS) gameplay with real-time strategy (RTS) elements. Players take on the role of a Guardian, actively fighting off hordes of alien enemies while simultaneously commanding and building defensive structures and units. This hybrid gameplay loop allows players to engage in the action as a soldier while also strategizing and managing their base and resources.
Players have access to a wide arsenal of weapons, from classic firearms like pistols and assault rifles to exotic weaponry like the Gravity Gun, which can fling enemies against cliffs. The game also offers various vehicles, including mechs and spaceships, enabling players to engage enemies from both the ground and air.
The RTS aspect allows players to construct defensive structures and deploy units to aid in the fight against the alien invaders. Building turrets, deploying drones, and directing the movements of your forces are all crucial to successfully defending your position and pushing back the enemy. Carefully managing resources and upgrading units and defenses are key to achieving victory.
The game supports cooperative campaigns with up to four players, enabling teamwork and coordinated strategies to overcome challenges. It also offers PvP battles with up to eight players, providing intense and strategic multiplayer experiences as players compete against one another.
A standout feature is the comprehensive, easy-to-use map editor, which allows players to create and share their own custom maps and challenges with the community. This user-generated content helps provide an almost endless replay value, as players can explore and enjoy a wide variety of unique and creative levels.
Designed specifically for virtual reality, the game's futuristic aesthetic and the ability to physically interact with the environment and controls help draw players into the action and heighten the sense of being a Guardian fighting for the federation.
