Relentless Frontier is a fast paced sci-fi FPS running on the GZDoom Engine, with a strong focus on mobility, strategy, and exploration. Beef up your Omnistruct to replicate new weapons and abilities to help you traverse the terrain and demolish threats, and escape from Ross 128-b in one piece.
## About This Game
Ross 128-B, a fresh new colony on the fringes of occupied space. Known for its
beautiful red sun, volatile politics, and until recently, it’s independence.
Ross has just signed a pact with the Solar Dominion Forces out of desperation,
offering economic control of their planet in exchange for a piece of the SDF’s
arsenal. Seems the planetary government has been having a hard time with a
local energy cult, so the SDF is sending over a legion of expendable
conscripts to test the waters.
You are Noah Gansky, a brilliant inventor doomed to Dominion servitude. Your
prized invention, the Omnistruct, was capable of breaking down any matter into
“Omnifuel”, then using that matter to instantly build a physical copy of any
object. Unfortunately, this invention was also responsible for the death and
illegal replication of an oafish Dominion official. Now you’re serving your
life sentence as a soldier on the Penal Legion barge Procyon; your invention
stolen, and your existence forgotten. Fortunately, the Procyon has just been
called to deploy on a fringe planet to deal with some two-bit cult. This might
be your chance to ditch the legion and go rogue.
On the way there, however, the barge gets a series of garbled distress calls
from Ross. Panicked descriptions of hard-shelled creatures raining from the
sky, ships being picked out of orbit by massive tendrils, and all ending with
bloody screams. Abandoning some penal legion is one thing, but leaving these
civilians to their deaths doesn’t sit well with you. You grab your ramshackle
Omni-blade and do some warm-up stretches as you prepare to board your drop
pod.
FEATURES
* Rapid combat with critical decision-making!
Your enemies are quick, lethal, overwhelming in number. Brute force may work,
but using the right tool for the job is much more effective. Burn down a
forest to keep swarming enemies at bay, detonate a demolition charge under a
massive armored foe to sunder their defenses, or simply keep your opponents
knocked down and stunned with a belt-fed automatic shotgun.
* A versatile weapon selection; a tool for every problem!
Every weapon you find will be viable throughout your entire journey (Yes, even
the pistol). Blast enemies at range with the powerful Enforcer magnum, keep
’em down with the Peacekeeper automatic shotgun, and then liquefy them with
the triple-barreled Justice turbo-machinegun. If you’re running low on ammo,
switch to your Omniblade (or simply hit quick melee) to punish any enemies
that get too close, and refill your Omnifuel reserves to boot!
* A unique Omnistruct conversion and ability system!
Ran out of magnum rounds? Lacking in vigor? Maybe you just want to feel safe
and armored? Noah’s Omnistruct system has your back, with the ability to
perform personal on-the-fly ammo/health/armor conversions. Simply keep it
supplied with a steady stream of Omnifuel by finding pickups, or ethically
farming it from your foe’s bodies with your Omniblade.
* Interconnected maps with multiple progression routes!
You’ve got a destination, and many ways to get there. If a direct force
solution isn’t working for you, use your wits to find a better vantage point,
a route that avoids direct conflict, a secret cache of supplies, or any other
myriad boon that can be rewarded by exploration.
* Difficulty settings that do more than increase enemy health!
You have 3 difficulties to select from at the start, with each one changing
enemy placement, environmental hazards, and even level progression! Higher
difficulties don’t just require quicker reflexes, they can also be conquered
using strategy and exploration. Beating each episode gives you access to a new
difficulty mode, which replaces conventional balance with a brutal
progression.
## Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
Blood, Gore, and Violence are commonly used in Relentless Frontier. People
die, enemies that get shot bleed and occasionally explode. Authoritarian
political implications, and some scenes of mass death may be shocking.
