The Most Ambitious Game Ever... that you've never heard of

Angels Fall First is finally leaving Early Access after 10 years and it's easily one of the most ambitious indie FPS games ever...

This concept would have been Star Wars Battlefront 3 if the industry didn't mishandle it

[fitzgerald]

Thought that was planetside 2 for a second lol

This game has been around for quite a long time and deserves more notice than it has gotten. Good Find.

Titan mode in 2142 was hands down the best Battlefield experience I had for many years. I was really bummed we didn't see a return of the mode in Battlefield 1 between Zeppelins.

This game is on top of my “lord I wish people knew about this game” list. I loved every part of this game; the infantry combat, vehicles, and space. It was great and I hope that a new wave of folks get in on it

I worked a bit on this game actually. I did the hovertank mesh, the Empire revolver/rocket launcher and the shotgun. Great team, stranj is a cool dude and the whole aesthetic was really inspirational to me.

Got it a bit wrong.

Angels Fall First started as a mod for Homeworld 2, an then expanded into multiple mods for different games.

Been a supporter and fan of Angels Fall First for awhile now. Absolutely love this game. Thank you for covering it!

This game reminds me of a game I would day dream about playing if it existed growing up. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this.

A couple of minutes into the video, and you had me convinced of buying it. Bought it and then kept on watching it. Looks really promising, now I'll give it a try.

Last I checked nobody was playing, but this game is great fun when populated.
Glad to hear there's still life in it, I'll be diving back in. I'm not sure I ever fully understood the HUD.
The AI works well enough though. There's nothing quite like boarding a capital ship, fighting through to the core & triggering a meltdown.

I always hurt inside when Planetside isn't mentioned

[spadeface]

Back in the day, 32 Vs 32 Space combat in this was a blast. Getting a good coordinated squad then boarding and enemy ship to destroy it from the inside was brilliant.

I remember playing this game for about a total of hundred or so hours when I fell upon it. There were enough players with the bots that it was a good niche little game that no one knew about.

Thanks for making me re-install and seeing if anyone still plays!

[TheMigueltronic]

OH LEVELCAP! I literally saw yesterday the update 1.0 news and was so sad no one covered it...I really hope the game gains some attention, thanks for the video <3

Oh man, I remember Angel's Fall First! It must have been its very early days when I encountered it as I remember it being a shared built universe for people to tell space combat stories. I recall there were plans to build maybe half a dozen mods for various types of games, like Homeworld 2. I had no idea that the Unreal mod was the one that made it to completion, let alone that a full game came of it.

Well done to all those working on the AFF shared universe, I think I still have an early design document on my hard drive somewhere...

Wow, I found it and it's dated to August 2005! The original plan was for four mods for Homeworld 2, Nexus, Battlefield 2, and Half-life 2. There was also a plan for a stand-alone game even back then. The PDF is 263 pages long, although many of them are essentially blank.

Two decades in the making!

Played on a nearly full server with the devs a few years back. Never got that experience anywhere else. The level of coordination between squads, the general mayhem, all the gameplay possibilities... This game is one of a kind

[GenesisAria]

FINALLY!!! Someone spotlights this. I have been following this and playing it her and there for years.

A correction is that it started as a Homeworld 2 mod with it's own lore. If you looked at spaceship art back in the day, art from this universe has been around once you recognise the ship designs.

Remember playing this in the 2010s, can't believe they're still working on it.
