Rising Front is an action-strategy war simulator and FPS playable on Mac (macOS Sierra+), Windows, Linux and Steam Deck, developed and published by Sandstorm Studios Inc. Released on January 9, 2026, this indie war game blends first-person shooting, tactical command and massive battle simulation to recreate large-scale historical conflicts like World War I, Revolutionary War and the Franco-Prussian War at unprecedented scale.
In Rising Front you can jump straight into the shoes of a soldier or step back to command troops from above, letting you mix action with battlefield tactics. Battles feature hundreds to over 1,000 units simultaneously, including infantry, cavalry, tanks, artillery and over 30 different aircraft, making for chaotic, cinematic engagements. The procedural cover system, rag-doll physics and intelligent AI enhance immersion and strategic options during the fight, while a real-time building system allows you to fortify positions, erect defenses and deploy resources in dynamic warzones.
The game supports Steam Workshop, giving players tools to create and share custom maps, units, weapons and battle scenarios, extending replayability and community creativity. With single-player focus, full controller support, achievements and cloud saves, Rising Front caters to fans of both shooter and large-scale war simulation gameplay on Mac and other platforms.
