Descriptions from the Epic Games Store:
Verdun. The game takes place on the Western Front between 1914 and 1918, in one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history - inspired by the infamous Battle of Verdun in 1916. Verdun is the first multiplayer FPS set in a realistic World War One setting, and is the game which started the WW1 Game series. The vicious close quarters nature of trench warfare means that skill with a bayonet can be as vital as good aim with a rifle. Key Features: Experience World War One gameplay - Accurate weaponry, poisonous gas with a claustrophobic gas mask experience, horrendous gore effects, and ferocious artillery barrages. Tactical squad-based FPS - 15 distinctive squad types representing soldiers from 5+ countries, each with distinct weapons and equipment. True trench warfare - Real-time dynamic frontline with momentum based attack and counter-attack gameplay. Authentic World War 1 setting - Typical WW1 music and style, historical battlefields representing the key theaters on the Western Front.
Defense Grid: The Awakening. Defense Grid: The Awakening is the ultimate tower defense game that appeals to players of all skill levels. A horde of enemies is invading, and it's up to the player to stop them by strategically building fortification towers around their base. The controls are intuitive and the gameplay is deep — the special attacks and properties of each tower work together to provide many ways to succeed. Defend the cores!
