Homefront: The Revolution

Cleared!＼(^o^)／

I think I made a mistake and played on Hard difficulty.
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense...

I died over 150 times. There are too many instant kills.

You can't lower the difficulty mid-game.
If you're not a seasoned gamer like me, you might be tempted to quit halfway through.
So, if you're not used to this kind of game, it's safer to play on Normal or Easy at least.

You won't be able to enjoy the story at all.

Now, America is in ruins as if North Korea had somehow launched a nuclear missile.

The game felt like a combination of Fallout 3 for the stages,
and Assassin's Creed and Far Cry for the systems.

・Impressions
Hmm, it's difficult.
I died way too much, to be honest.

Like in Far Cry or Assassin's Creed, you search for treasure chests and items.

However, there are always airships in the sky,
and on the ground, there are tanks, infantry, and drones.
So, it's not a game where you can leisurely explore.

You might think it's over when you defeat them,
but then reinforcements, reinforcements, reinforcements!

It's endless...

But, if you clear a stage, enemies will mostly disappear from that stage, or perhaps entirely.
This means you won't be able to get jobs from the job board, participate in flash events (sudden missions), or destroy tanks.
You'll get stuck.

If you just want to clear the game, that's fine.
But after dying so many times, after being shot down 150 times,
I thought, I'm going to achieve 100% completion!!

But by then, the enemies were gone from that stage...
I felt a sense of emptiness.

The stages are very well-made, and I can definitely appreciate that.

The system and... the handling of the Heavy Trooper, which is like a walking tank, is a bit... hmm.

Oh, right, the biggest bottleneck: weapon selection!
You can carry up to three types of weapons.
Machine Gun

Battle Rifle
Crossbow
Assault Rifle
Shotgun
Rocket Launcher

Out of these, the Machine Gun is essential.
You choose two from these to carry with you.

I followed the walkthrough and used the recommended Battle Rifle as my main weapon until the end.

This is because it's useful for sniping with the 4x scope, and also with the Marksman Rifle and 7x scope, which I didn't use.

However, the loud sound attracts enemies quickly, which is a drawback.

Yeah, you get spotted and shot down immediately. That's this game. Good luck!
