Homefront

6/10

Your drunk stepdad's idea of "the perfect action movie"

its a good game its so sad no one plays the multiplayer

scripted FPS with re spawning enemies and jank

avoid

game is broken you start the game and you clip through the floor and that is it every single time nothing works to fix it nothing works to change it that game is fundamentally broken so do not buy this game

beautiful action story and premise

It's a very short story 6 or 7 missions, 4 ish hrs totally for me. Kinda interesting story. Multiplayer has severs but no one in them. Maybe on weekends they get a few I'm not sure. If you want a short, kinda old (in 2025) 4-5hr FPS shooter, this isn't the worst one out there. I'd say under $5 give it a try, anything over $5 not worth it.

This game is good. Basically "we have call of duty at home". The only problem is that this game multiplayer is dead(like really dead), the only time I was able to join a server with five other people.

Doesn't run it's best, and I don't mean that fps wise ... fps is fine, it's the fact that the game has trouble running in fullscreen, so I was forced to play it in windowed. If I went fullscreen, the game would stutter and sometimes even crash, so there is that.

Also, a fair warning to everyone using Nvidia RTX 50 series or later GPUs. You will have problems running this game on max settings, as it's using Nvidia PhysX, which the hardware accelerator for is absent on those cards.

Other than that tho, it has a surprisingly solid campaign. It is pretty short ... clocking in at around 3 hours. The mission variety is pretty nice and the level design is pretty solid.

Multiplayer is dead, so no comment on that.

I'd recommend getting it on sale, just for the campaign alone, for a playthrough on some afternoon when ur bored.

A janky propaganda piece masquerading as entertainment. Buy it to laugh, uninstall to preserve sanity.

"We have Call of Duty MW2 at home"

Hysterical for all the wrong reasons. Its literally every bad trope of the COD era paired with the fan-fiction nonsense written by a fox news host/daily wire smooth brain. The stupid premise was even more dumb the first time round. Paired with it dumb AI, abysmal voice acting and sound design this game honestly feels like one of those fake games you see the kid character in a CSI show plays in the background for one scene.

Yeah, Its bad, but I might've gotten some ironic enjoyment from it.

4/10

tango bad guys in the hooters

This game makes me want to overthrow a certain corrupt government.

Get it on a sale, campaign is alright, AI can be frustrating at times, friendly ai getting stuck on corners, or waiting for me to advance without making it clear where to go. Enemy AI is aimbotty constantly know where you are so your fighting for every inch of cover, Ive even had a few times where I get headshot by an RPG taking a peak around cover.

Not worth full price, but good on a sale and fun for a single playthrough.

`aim is inconsistent, cover has bad hitboxes at times. The player hitbox feels massive comapred to enemies who brely take up their player model.

bland jingoism the game.

main story is a very childish view of what an insurgency would be like

just shit

Kim Jong-Uwe approved!

short story but fun

If there is a top 10 list of the worst games ever made, this game would occupy at least one spot on that top 10.

This is yet another trash propaganda & nationalism simulator for paranoid-delusional "red dawn" boomer type gamers who dont play normal games and need Fox news style "entertainment" to validate their programmed belief-system and continue trying to start world war 3 over imaginary enemies. This is basically a game for trumpists and not real people.

I think if they were to ignore the multiplayer aspect and put more effort into singleplayer that this franchise could of really took off, the atmosphere is akin to the metro games where you walk around and soak in the daily lives of allies and enemies alike and i found it to be rather immersive except for those few "high octane railroad call of duty moments" that they could of done without. but overall i enjoyed the rather short campaign and would say its worth about 15 bucks. id wait for a sell but i do recommend it

great game

It's an OK experience if you can get your settings to work right. I don't know, i'm not the best with computers, i had it working at one point then it just decided not to.
outside of that the game is an Interesting experience that's about 6 hours long. so if you buy it on sale it's worth the price, and there is a multiplayer community, just not super active.
I couldn't finish it because of the frame rate issues I was having, but overall I'll still give it about a 6 out of 10.
Maybe it might work on a steam deck, or a better computer for me, but for now I think that's a fair rating, well worth a revisit if I can just get those settings right.

classic but dull

war is hell

Love the story. It is the closest we get to a Red Dawn video game.

I have played the game before and finished it completely, but unfortunately when I bought it here on Steam and wanted to play, I get the message "Pure Virtual Function Call Error" and I cannot continue playing.

Done...
Nice game...

It's an old game but it's fun.
The adventure is worth buying, especially in the sale :)

good

4/5 star

Didn't age well, but I bet it was good 14 years ago.

short and has bugs

Loved the Story to this game, although short the campaign is a fun one to visit once in a while if your trying to kill time.

Only issues / glitches i ran into were related to buggy animations before cut-scenes.

Such a shame it had to compete with Battlefield and Cod.

Aged poorly, Controls are bad, input glyphs display wrong on XB/S controller, aiming mechanics are outlandish. Graphics held up decently, I've got a lot of nostalgia for this game and don't regret jumping back into it after all this time, if it's on discount or you are here for the nostalgia, this is your game.
Surprisingly, multiplayer is still kicking along, as of 17 Feb 2025 there were I believe 6 servers still functioning, with one of those servers having 6 players on it.

It was a different time in 2011. Instead of defending the Burger Town we instead had to defend true AMERICAN iconography. Hooters and White Castle.

great game for its time now its controls are a bit wonky still fun tho

the story line of the game was amazing and the multiplayer is just as fun

Great game, kinda short but the story is good and the missions are great, even giving you different things to do every now and then.
Definitely recommend especially if its on a sale.

:)

1. I played this game through in about like ~4,5h -> thats very sad

2. Graphic is so bad, in 2012 this was maybe good.

3. I do not recommend this game, its a waste of money

4/10 Points

fun

A fun waste of time

Highly recommended. Get it on steam sale for only a couple of dollars. I have zero problems running it on windows 11 on geforce gpu. Multiplayer is generally dead but the single player campaign is one of my all time favorites. It's a bit short, maybe 6 hours, so play it on hard if you want to stretch it out. The plot of Red Dawn, mechanics like early CoD games, Unreal Engine 3. Just an awesome shooter.

different senarios

you can't even play this game on AMD drivers

Homefront is a unique and compelling first-person shooter that offers players an intense alternate history experience with a surprisingly well-crafted narrative. The game's strongest attribute is its powerful storytelling, presenting a dark and immersive vision of a North Korean invasion of the United States that feels both provocative and emotionally engaging. While the single-player campaign is notably short—around three hours—it packs an incredible amount of cinematic storytelling and atmospheric world-building into its brief runtime, with each level feeling like a meticulously crafted painting that captures the brutal reality of occupation.

The gameplay, though familiar, provides solid shooting mechanics and an interesting variety of weapons that become progressively more interesting as players advance through the campaign. Multiplayer stands out as particularly enjoyable, with a team-based scoring system that emphasizes collective performance over individual kill counts, creating a more collaborative and strategic online experience. The game's maps are well-designed, conveying a compelling sense of a crumbling, occupied America that feels both authentic and emotionally charged.

Despite some technical limitations and graphical shortcomings, Homefront manages to create a uniquely immersive shooter experience that goes beyond traditional military game narratives. Its willingness to explore darker themes of war and occupation, combined with its innovative storytelling approach, makes it a memorable—if flawed—entry in the first-person shooter genre.

DO NOT BUY!!

This game should be de-listed from Steam. It will not work anymore. Compatibility mode, installing physx that came with the game, nothing will get this game working.

Unfortunate, because this was one of my guilty pleasure games. XD
