From Press Release:
Flying Squirrel Entertainment, the developer behind the successful Battle Cry of Freedom and Mount & Blade: Warband – Napoleonic Wars, is proud to announce their new game: Over The Top WWI.
Over The Top: WWI brings brutal real-time third-person 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 as a soldier on the front lines where every weapon and vehicle you see is yours. Take the Germans head-on or crush their resistance- by yourself or with an army behind you. Arm yourself with a diverse arsenal, including rifles, artillery, and even tanks, as you navigate the mud-soaked battlefields of the First World War.
Will you face the enemy alone in single-player or lead a powerful army into the fray in the included multiplayer mode? The decision is yours to make on these historic battlegrounds.
