The game also received an Xbox One X update and the resolution boost that came with it helps a lot. Visually the game is very impressive with some excellent character detail which are showcased during cutscenes. Additional items can also be purchased with money to improve your character (hold more ammo, health, etc) but you might find that you initially focus more on gun upgrades than anything else. A number of these are gated behind game progression and unlock points that you earn by completing objectives so it’s wise to check the resistance shops regularly to see what you can improve or gain access to. A number of throwable items like molatovs, and hacking grenades (to bypass doors) are also available which can be upgraded to allow for additional features such as remote detonating. The changes do have a noticeable impact to how each weapon performs so you may find you stick to configurations that work best for your own play style. The weapon modification system is limited but neat in its execution but seeing your character strip a pistol down to turn it into an SMG helps to sell the idea that the resistance make do with the resources they have. However they also have a tendency to attract a lot of attention too so may only be worth the risk when you know exactly what you are doing. Some of the levels can feel intimidating at first because of their size but you do have the option of using dirt bikes stashed around maps and they work well as there’s often short cuts to find thanks to a number of clearly marked ramps and buildings. Your vulnerability means it’s usually best to use hit and run tactics and I’ve already lost count on the number of times I’ve blasted away at enemies before turning tail to run and hide in an empty apartment or dumpster until the alarms time out. The KPA are capable fighters too and it’s easy to find yourself down and out without realizing how quickly your health was chipped away. It’s very easy to empty a magazine and barely hit your target so careful aiming of shots is essential. A lot of those tasks have the potential to feel repetitive but you only need to do so much before you’re whisked off to the next map where the change in locale helps to freshen up the experience again.Īs a shooter Homefront sits somewhere in between Battlefield and Call of Duty in terms of the gunplay aim assist is dialed down enough that it requires a little more thought in use. The number of things you can do to help influence the public is fairly small – mostly stuff like destroying propaganda, protecting citizens, setting up “overwatch” sites for the resistance – but they force you to travel through each of the areas to get the points you need to win over everyone. Success in that will trigger a revolution in the region and allow you to complete your tasks, often moving to a new location. There’s a number of missions available that make up the core campaign and these are tied into an overworld system where you also have to sway public opinion.

As part of the resistance in Philadelphia your job is to fight back against the Korean People’s Army (KPA) and drive them out. Homefront: The Revolution is set in an alternate future where a technologically superior North Korea has taken over the United States and is now occupying the country.

However playing it now on my Xbox Series X after all the updates and DLC have dropped and my thoughts are that the game is a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. Unfortunately there were a number of negative reviews based on the game’s initially rough state which put a swift end to that plan. There’s no sense in trying to hoard all of your materials.Back in 2016 when Homefront: The Revolution was first released its Red Dawn type of setting (a reboot of an earlier game of the same name) there was potential for it to become a franchise in the making. Molotov cocktails are particularly useful in the early hours of the game, so be sure to craft those whenever you can. Once you’ve gathered enough materials, be sure to check your weapon wheel and see if there are any items you can craft on the spot. Brady isn’t a very tanky character, so looting these areas is always worthwhile, as you never know when you’ll chance upon a health kit. For instance, tapping the interact button next to a couch will allow you to search the cushions, while interacting with cabinets will allow you to open the drawers and check them. Not only that, you can also interact with the furniture around you. If you move close to them, you should receive a button prompt that allows you to scavenge materials and other worthwhile items. Whenever you’re in a building, keep a look out for shiny, silver items just laying around. This isn’t very relevant until you’ve gotten a few hours into Homefront: The Revolution.
