In the days before the D-Day, the British and American intelligence sent numerous secret service officers, such as the OSS units, in the north of France to gather information on the positions and fortifications of the Germans, and carry out operations of sabotage and screening.
A few days before the giant landing, an American agent with important information went captured. It is necessary to find and free him at any cost.
The task has been assigned to Jasper Fox, Lieutenant of the OSS. It will be parachuted near Valognes, Normandy.
Thanks to contacts with the French Resistance, he will have to find, free and escort the captured agent to the coast to the north, where they will be extracted and taken away by an allied submarine.
The mission is designed to last a few hours, assuming nothing goes wrong ....

This is by the same guy who made Easy Red?
Does the game have some clunky elements? Yes, Is the voice acting strange at parts? Yes but neither of these ruin the game for me. I really have enjoyed my time with the game so far and look forward to more hours.
this is pure awful, rather burn your money for heat or go mobile game gacha or something

Good little game, can use a lot of improvements graphic wise and the weapons can use some overhauling with their models and their stats can be improved to reflect their real life models. A grease gun uses 30 rd mags not 20 for example lol
its not that bad of a game i would recommend it how ever its not the best it has some issues cars are worst then dayz they flip easy your best way of getting around is walking untill you get the motorbike i will give it a 3/5 if they do updates then ill give it a better score overall tho it is a fun little game
I enjoy Easy Red 2 from the same developer but this game, A Front Too Far: Normandy, really sucks. It's extremely clunky with strange bugs. Some examples:
1) When you reload from a save checkpoint, your ammo is still depleted form the previous mission.
2) The damage dealt by shooting enemies is extremely random. Headshots are sometimes fatal, but other times it can take up to five shots to drop an enemy
3) Mission objectives can be confusing and it's easy to get lost (perhaps this is by design, but it's not fun)
not very good its buggy takes forever to get anywhere shooting is janky and I lacked much inspiration to go back to the game
Lots of unfinished job and silly decisions in programming. Eg. gravity is not towards the earth but simply below the player --> if you exit a vehicle when it is upside down you'll end up in the space. And ofcourse there's no way you can exit the game without saving... Sometimes the weapon in your hands disappears when mission updates.
I think the idea is nice but with so many mistakes i can't understand how you can get through the game..
Bugged Saves, no rebindable keys or mouse sensitivity. Inputs are not programmed correctly.
Inventory is slow, cannot drop inventory item while equipping a weapon during animation.
Visuals are not the best despite performance being semi-poor. Needs a tune-up.
Without the ability to adjust mouse sensitivity, you cannot shoot well enough to play this game. I looked at the review and see this was a problem brought up way back in 20`18 and never fixed. Too bad because it could have been a great game.
Update:. I played some more by using Windows to slow down my mouse speed. Aiming is better but still not great. The game is playable though. It is an interesting and fun game. All they have to do is make it so you can manually save your progress and also fix the aforementioned aiming problem. So, I am leaning toward YES but with the caveats that aiming and saving are big problems to being able to enjoy the game.
So unfinished there isn't even an option to change mouse sensitivity. If this was polished up this woulda been pretty cool. Graphics, UI, basically everything just seems early stage but released as a whole 1.0 game. Save your money and the 10 minutes it will take you to realize the same as I have
Very wonky but the free roaming and mission based gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable. Another commenter mentioned a B-movie feeling, and if you go into the game with that expectation it is a fun way to pass the hours. The heavy French in the voice acting is either jarring or hilarious, I've met enough english speaking frenchmen in my line of work to fondly giggle at how the resistance sounds. We'll see how long that lastst as I play more of the game, so far I recommend it for the old school Medal of honor vibes if anything.
I wish I could like this game and say something good about it, but it wouldn't be honest on my part. Game doesn't save at all and the gameplay itself is more like that of a game from 15 or 16 years ago. This is good only for those who like retro style games from the early 2000's.
It's cheap but this is an example of you getting what you paid for.
I would sooner spend more for a better quality game than this.
If you like good graphics then skip this one.
If you want good voice acting then by all means skip this one too.
this game is deffinitly a waste of 6.99 when i bought it. it looked better but it plays like a potatoe if i could get my money back i would plus extra just for the ain playing it made me feel -_-
the graphics are poor, though the gameplay and stories are good and true enough to real WWII settings.
Good game, I like the open world ww2 looter shooter concept, very unique. Sure it's janky but it's part of the charm and it was developed by one guy. Cut him some slack, good value for the price imho
A front to far: Normandy
Other WW2 FPS I enjoy:
Darkest hour 44-45 Europe ( Mod for Red storm rising 1)
Ironfront Liberation ( First game that you play as a German soldier in a campaign)
Call of duty 1-2
Easy red ( same developer but this game is fantastly fun and very good)
This game is a big pile of garbage, but I very much recommend the first game from the same developer that was an extremly good and very fascinating game in the best 1942 to stylish combat and a sort of a campaign system that feelt like it made sense.
+ Finally an Indipendent developer that dares to do a ww2 game
+ Semi open world ( It says that but havent noticed it so far)
" Open world that is not so open"
You can choose between different missions from a place and then there is nothing else to do except the mission you have choosen.
- Horrible gun animation in front of your face, it feels like you constantly have a repeating epileptic seasure.
- Ugly rendering of bushes that changes when you get closer
- Cant change controls and as a lefthanded this is pure garbage
" Hey lets steal my dads car! "
When you are driving a vehicle you feel like a midget or a child that cant really see the road in front of you especially if you are going upward. It really gives you that complete feel of being 8 years old and your best friend is pedaling under the seat and you are sitting and trying to drive, supremly horrible experience. Then again if you have ever played Arma2 and been driving a truck this is allmost the same except there you are allmost going throught the rought by default and can allmost not see the road further ahead but there it´s at least possible to adjust it with freelook.
" Unfriendly greedy resistance "
You have the role as an American soldier that has got lost in the wood and found the french resistance movement, But they are greedy fucks that want to sell you ammo and healthpacks when they at the same time want your help with the Germans...complete assholes and very unimmersive :D
" Run forest run"
There is really no point to have a run button sicne the game does not portray stamina, It´s just an unnecessary button to hold down.
" Run forest run...in the forest"
The ingame map is good to have except that you cant really understand what direction you are facing since it´s just a dot
" Come on man give me my German truck! VS Walking simulator "
I helped the resistance steal a truck but I´m not allowed to use it and instead need to run a km alone
Its a fun game, max out all settings, ( pc allows) i really appreciate the time the developer has put into this. a really good way to spend a few unstressful hours, 9 out of 10 for a game to spend a few hours without getting killed every 2 seconds.
As a huge fan of his game EASY RED my expectations were through the roof for this "fallout meets world war 2" mashup. So far I give it a 6/10. Missions are pretty fun and it has lot of potential but it does need quite a few updates. Easy red is the better game but I'm still going to keep playing A front too far and I hope the developer continues to add more content as we really need a game like this
I absolutely love the game idea, I've been on the lookout for a World War Two open world type game, however I believe more can be put into it. Improvements on AI, controls, graphics, everything. Other than that I would say I would recommend it to those who can actually run the game on high since I have a mac and all. I'm sure i'd look beautiful on a hefty PC.
7/10, I'll rebuy in the future.
Terrible voice acting, silly looking characters, farmland that raises at pyramid-like angles randomly, and a German AI with the intelligence of a child.
However, the game has interesting enough concepts such as open world exploration and "survival" plus a nice setting and the fact that the combined bad parts of it are funny enough to be passable. So for $5 and some change (on sale right now) it's a fun little way to pass time.
Also you can shoot yourself in the foot.
Update: With no comment from the developer about this game, it is safe to say we shall not see any improvements at all for a while and to avoid the developer until their reputation improves.
TL;DR The lack of attention to details often portrays the problem with solo development. The mundane everyday task of working on a project creates a lack of ideas which leak into view when the project is released. Modern fundamental gaming options such as having an options interface in the main menu have not been included.
This review will contain spoilers
The Review
Gameplay
The enemy AI is often hit and miss, with detection often obsolete or exploitive. You can be 100m of the enemy and have them not see you, or you could be behind bushes and they would still be able to see you. Enemy AI is extremely aggressive when in numbers and will rush you regardless of the situation even if you try to suppress them. Coupled with poor controls and this quickly becomes a nuisance. Weapon accuracy becomes another problem as both weapon condition and the lack of hit detection makes the even most elite of players doubt their skills. You will often find yourself using all of your ammunition in combat due to your shots missing even though the crosshairs are lined up and your weapon condition is above 90%. Since the only way to hit enemies is by luck or close quarters, you will inevitably be shot. Interestingly enough, there have been instances where enemies ignored me outright in the middle of a firefight, to perform a turn and then continue to shoot. As your health goes down, you will be notified that your health is low, and you should use items. The problem with this is that there is no quick selection or quick heal key and therefore you will be paused in the inventory whilst the game continues, with enemies rushing your position. The developer has stated that this is intentional.
For any friendly NPC, there are a few instances where the AI makes you feel like you are surrounded by stormtroopers, forcing you to expose yourself to enemy fire or not have to engage the enemy at all due to their ability to engage without taking damage. At times, you may not want to shoot at all as it is difficult to tell the resistance apart from the enemy. For instance, the character Zoe wears the same black clothing which is indistinguishable from a distance to the Nazi uniforms.
Missions are extremely repetitive and continue to expect them to be as the map appears to be quite large. I am 8 missions into the game, and it has been only fetching quests and ambushes. I honestly would expect a mission to defend the camp, however I can no longer play as I have encountered a mission which I believe to be the most ridiculous out of place mission yet. The mission is related to Devil Hill where you are forced to defend the area from 3 waves of bunnies that are each called “Evil Bunny”. You may ask why this is the case, however the NPC who gives the quest states that the hill is haunted, and this is the only explanation so far as I cannot find myself to finish this mission. The bunnies have red eyes and are completely black, however this does not make them scary at all. It is the sheer frustration of the number of bunnies, lack of ammunition, inventory management, and weapon inaccuracy that makes this mission impassable. The bunnies hop high enough so that you miss and spawn close to your vicinity in amounts of 10 so you will find yourself out of ammo and dying throughout the quest. This is made further frustrating with the poor saving system. Saving is extremely obnoxious, you are only allowed to save outside of missions which can be annoying as some missions can be large and you will be forced to start again.
Navigation in missions is confusing as you have a map, however there is no pointer in the map. You are given a compass however this is useless anyway as you cannot find out where you are facing. You have the choice of several vehicles to use to get to objectives most commonly the car and the motorbike, however these are difficult to use as they have no suspension and no third-person view. Furthermore, you cannot see the handlebars of the motorbike which limits responsive turning. The field of view in the vehicles feels quite limited and thus causes a lot of crashing.
The game features a trading system which is extremely expensive and thus obsolete. It is understandable that supply lines are probably cut-off, however items sell for very little compared to the price of buying. There is a lack of balance and you are better off looting weapons from the enemy. Some items do not even sell at the store and you are forced to drop them. Jasper’s maximum carry weight is 25kg which is fair, considering that it is a solo mission and you need to keep moving. This allows you to carry a fair number of weapons though it must be known that quest items have their own weight. When you are carrying too much weight, you will move slowly and will be forced to drop items that could be sold, however you are restricted on what to sell. Some survival elements involve a hunger system which comes into play later in the game. As of yet I am unaware of the dangers of having your hunger low, however I can probably guess that it will affect your health over time.
I was intrigued to see different weapon attachments and different weapons from the time, however these can be quite rare and easily missed. The most annoying factor is that weapons cannot be individually striped of ammunition but only the bodies of dead enemies, which leaves precious ammunition lost unless you pick-up the weapon. Weapons have a condition feature that affects weapon accuracy and take a fair bit of time to reduce condition, however it is annoying that you have to pick up the weapon to see the condition rather than see the condition of the weapon before picking it up.
Atmosphere
When assaulting your objectives, you are presented with gleeful music which reduces the experience, especially since you are alone and surrounded by random Nazis spread across the map. Instead of feeling a sense of fear as if I could die at any moment, I felt as if I was in an adventure film.
Voice acting is very inconsistent and if you are attentive you can tell that it was outsourced, as the voices from different characters sound like they were picked up from different microphones. Zoe’s voice actor definitely is a culprit of this, as the voice sounds as if it has been picked up in a room whilst Jasper’s voice is quite clear. The French voice actors are hilariously bad, whilst the Germans sounded quite tactical which was interesting.
Graphical quality is budget and understandable due to it being a small project, however even with render settings on far it is quite clear that grass and trees render when you are at least 20m in front of them. Even more so, if you pay close attention to enemies far away, they are not even animated. On the other hand, I believe this was for performance issues.
I was surprised to see wildlife in the form of cows of which have been slightly animated and given sound effects. However, I have found that Jasper (the main character) has the ability to understand cows or that the cows have the ability to speak English as they all have the same statement that says “I don’t trust him…” which is the same statement made by the enemy when you get close enough.
Conclusion
The story is very bland with retrieval missions and no obvious character development. There are quests that honestly subtract from the experience of the game, such as Devil Hill. I honestly wish that the developer will take ideas and implement them into the game as I like the concept, however the poor execution leaves much to think about for now. Noticeable bugs such as AI getting stuck or which music has been selected at the moment reveals the rough, unpolished interior.
These are my early impressions of this game. I picked this one up because it is dirt cheap and it is available for Linux, honestly I didn't have much expectations for a game that costs less than a simple meal. This game feels very much like a B-Movie (which is to be expected for the price), but if you can look beyond the budget there is some serious ambition and quite a lot of work behind it.
The game is an open world RPG set in france during WW2. You basically start being airdropped in the countryside and quickly meet the french resistance, which even though they talk very funny to my surprise is FULLY voice acted. I think this is something to praise since honestly I wasn't expecting. From there you get several missions like collecting supplies and searching for lost patrols.
You run into action quite early, so the gunplay, it is not the best, but it is certainly quite decent. The weapon bob is quite exaggerated but it makes fast shooting seem a bit chaotic. Some weapons are enjoyable to use, particularly the mp40 and the rifles. The game seems to have quite a lot of weapons, on my short play session I found a Mp40, a Kar93, the stg-44, a Sten, and the merchants sell stuff like the M1 Garand, the french Lebel, and some machineguns .
Another big surprise was finding a german car and actually being able to use it, as well as a motorcycle. The driving isn't great but is usable.
Graphically I would say this game looks a bit like the first Medal of Honor (Allied Assault) , in some aspects it is a bit worse (some textures and models) and in some aspects is a bit better (some shaders for example). There are some small issues like depth of field being a bit too overused and jump all over the place, also sometimes there is a lot of pop-in despite my graphics card clearly being able to handle the game smoothly. There is a lot of grass and hills and that makes combat exciting, sometimes making it hard to see where the enemy is shooting at you.
The UI is very basic, the menus are pretty much spartan, showing you only what you need to see and letting you tweak graphics.
I am not certain if there is any "stealth" system, but I have managed to come very close to the enemies without them noticing, so it makes me think it can be done in a stealthy way. Most missions seem to be able to be approached from any direction and with any weapons you manage to get, in a "sandbox" fashion
So if I had to give a veredict, I would say that I am enjoying the game and I plan to finish it, so it is pretty good for the price. It has some pretty ambitious concepts and you can tell the devs were thinking big, which make me wonder: what could these developers do with some more money?
If I would recommend it? If you are looking for an interesting experience for a small price and are willing to put up with some budget quality here and there, less than stellar voice acting and a bit of glitchy graphics I would say go for it.
