While interesting ideas are malformed and dropped, trite and long-overplayed ones are repeated all the time. You can just start doing that on preordained surfaces now. Over halfway through the game, you gain the option to draw chalk symbols on the wall for no real reason. Enemy Front loves weird things like this – ideas that are half-introduced, or dropped at a moment’s notice. Oddly, after this illusion of player agency, the game drops the premise almost entirely, settling into more linear progression while only occasionally offering optional objectives during levels that only occasionally offer a tangible reward. This choice is something of an obfuscation, since you’ll end up doing them all regardless and only really get to choose which mission is played first. When it first begins, Enemy Front makes things a little interesting by allowing you to choose your missions. He’s in Europe during the second World War, and he’s shooting German soldiers for the resistance because that’s what you do. The paper-thin story revolves around a journalist whose name I’ve forgotten because it isn’t important. It is a World War II first-person shooter, that much is true, but it feels like it could have been released more than five years ago and fit right in. In fairness, CI Games’ tale of Reich and resistance neither feels truly modern or particularly fun. Enemy Front aims to do just that, claiming to be the “first truly modern WW2 FPS” and promising to make the murder of Nazis fun again.
So allegedly dead is the horse, World War II titles should be able to stand out thanks to the endless modern military shooters and zombie games that rose to take their place.
At a time in which World War II shooters were considered passe years ago, a World War II shooter can become king.
