Gameplay

Front Lines is a wargame with a turn-based play system, using vehicles.[2]

Development

Impressions' Jeffrey Fiske later called Front Lines "a high-quality graphics program which, if it had done a little more time in development, would have had much better gameplay."[3]

Reception and legacy

In PC Gamer US, William R. Trotter called Front Lines "a well-designed product that should have wide appeal."[1] Next Generation's reviewer was negative toward the game, and stated that "[m]ost fans of war games will find Front Lines a good example of the genre (if a little predictable), but everyone else's eyes will surely glaze over after a few minutes of play."[2]

Following the completion of Front Lines, developer Impressions Games began work on a remake of the game that focused on the American Civil War. However, the team organically drifted away from this framework as development progressed, until the project crystallized as Robert E. Lee: Civil War General.[3]
