Over The Top: WWI
Over The Top: WWI brings brutal third-person 100 v 100 multiplayer and single player combat set in the muddy fields of the First World War, presenting players with the opportunity to re-fight the Great War as either the Central Powers or the Triple Entente.
- Fight in Massive Battles: Take part in massive multi- or single-player battles with up to 200 players or bots simultaneously fighting each other on the same battlefield, in a completely destructible and realistic first World War combat environment.
- Unique Singleplayer Modes: Jump into the action in "Instant Battle" mode and take part in large-scale confrontations featuring up to 200 bots.
- Large Weapon Selection: With more than 50 unique weapons, 6 different types of armored vehicles and 10 different Artillery pieces, you have plenty of options to choose from.
- Dynamic Terrain: Help your Team defend against the onslaught of enemy troops by digging defensive trenches and shape the battlefield as you see fit. Artillery shells, hand-grenades and rifle-grenades will create realistic craters in the ground. Shovels and pickaxes can be used to dig trenches.
- Authentic Battlefields: Fight on one of the 9 beautifully hand-crafted maps, inspired by real-world places and battlefields, or play on a randomly generated map, providing a different combat environment each time.
- In-Game Map Editor: Create your own maps with the easy to use, but yet very powerful Map Editor included in Over The Top: WWI.
