Make Heroes. Make History.

Recruits is a squad based top down shooter. Inspired by games like Cannon Fodder, Alien Swarm and Jagged Alliance Recruits puts players on the front lines of the battlefield to accomplish your missions through any means necessary. Fast paced and packed with explosions, Recruits offers a wide variety of features that allow you, and your friends to take command of the action and lead your men to victory.

As players progress through the game they will gain ranks and respect amongst their fellow soldiers, giving them bonus abilities, unlocked items and perks to better defeat their enemies. The main aim for the player is to complete their missions and gain as many kill points as possible. The higher the rank of the player, the more efficient soldier they are, giving the team a better chance of surviving the missions and ultimately the war.

In each level, players will have to move out, saving POW's and civilians, avoiding traps, searching out and killing Enemy Soldiers, destroying enemy buildings and vehicles in order to safely get extracted from the battlefield.

Recruits is an action packed Top Down Shooter that will deliver you and your friends to the front lines of brutal combat situations.

Just a heads up, while Desura are authorizing the files, download our Demo from Game Front: Steamcommunity.com

Enjoy the demo (and make sure it runs on your PC) before you decide to pre-order the full version.

No problems, we just uploaded a new build. We re set up Mission 1 and Mission 2. They are way better now! Mission 2 you need to place C4 on tanks and everything! Let me know if you like it when its approved by Desura.

Game looks good. I was a big fan of Jagged Alliance, but it had a lot of problems. This looks like it will be as fresh as a world war 2 game can be . I'm curious how you guys implemented the leveling system, i just hope its effect on the game is very balanced. Keep up the good work.

It seems like the soldiers will become elite with more health and more damage, just like Cannon Fodder. Though I hope they will have a leveling system of perks; I mean a deeper, more developed skill tree. Anyway, with all that fast action, your high level soldiers would die quite soon, then maybe a perk system is not necessary, a waste of time. I don't know, it's all up to them.

Well, basically there are 2 leveling systems... One for the Recruits and one for the Player "Commander".

As Recruits fight they increase rank and therefor increase their skills (health, accuracy, speed, carry capacity etc) This happens fairly quick because of the high turn over of Recruits and is lost when the recruit dies. As the Commander you will receive an increase of rank a lot slower, but it does not get lost if recruits die.

The Commander receives weapons, abilities, vehicle, item upgrades to be able to use on the current Recruits giving even the most low level recruits a chance in later missions.

These are the basics and we are still building on them as we go, but it seems to work so far, we just need to perfect it :)

I like the fact that it's something new, that it's not like 90% of the games out there today. It's unique, with a really cool concept.
