6 itemsAbout the Game
Inari - an Earth-like, resource-rich world - is up for the taking. Corporate colonies have coalesced into continent-spanning power blocs in a bid for total domination. As gaps of unclaimed land are squeezed between them, borders turn to bands of twisted steel and blasted earth, as both sides leverage the planet's bountiful resources, their own colossal industries, and generations of colonists, into pushing it one way or the other. All of it is yours to control, observe, and alter as you see fit. Welcome to SteelFront.
ENTER A WORLD OF WAR
Oversee and participate in Inari's perpetual, yet stagnant state of conflict, portrayed with a style inspired by classic 80s and 90s animation, and using a lo-fi, turn-of-the-millennium "LandWarrior-Core" military retrofuture aesthetic.
CREATE YOUR BATTLES
Position and deploy forces onto the battlefield, then watch the carnage unfold in auto-battles ranging from small, close-quarters infantry firefights to massive, combined-arms clashes.
MOD SUPPORT
Add weapons of your own design to your favorite faction's equipment pool, throw your own new factions into the arena, or create new fronts or worlds all your own using robust and versatile modding tools for units, factions, and maps.
