On-screen text

war has ravaged this planet for so long... that any remnants of humanity's brilliance is buried under endless layers of soot and concrete. But on the bright side, it's one hell of a setting for an old school RTS game. This is DUST FRONT RTS, a grimdark real-time strategy game set on a planet that hasn't seen a tree for centuries. It has classic Command & Conquer style gameplay, with you building your base, amassing an army, and launching massive assaults on enemy bases. It also has grand strategy elements where you'll plan your operations against the other two factions on a global map. It's not a planet you'd visit for a suntan, But if you'd like to experience a grimdark dust-up of epic proportions, there's a demo out now on Steam!
