The Battle of the Somme symbolised the horrors of warfare in world war one. Follow orders, fight for your country, survive in rain soaked trenches and wait for the call; the call to chargeover no man's land to fight for freedom and liberation. Equipped with your arsenal of weaponry, make haste and overtake your enemies; watch over your brothers and god speed. As a soldier in The Somme you are challenged to overtake your enemy's forces. Team work dependency is key without it you will fall to feet of your foes. Listen out for orders from your commanding officer. Which role are you? You decide; from the Medic class and being able to haul wounded allies onto your shoulders to bandage them up in your trench to being an Officer, taking bird's eye view control to spot targets and mark them on your map to create devastation to your enemies forces with Artillery barrage.
The Somme - Lest we forget.

Hello IndieDb community!
We at TopHat Game Studios are currently developing a World War One first person shooter on the Unreal engine, we'd like you to follow us on the development cycle and get involved in the games historical background along the way.
The Somme is a game that derives it's roots from the brutal warfare of 1914-1918 and attempts to achieve a level of realism to symbolize the horrors the brave soldiers had to live in. There are five classes in total each side for players to choose from. We will be doing a lengthy tl;dr post in the up-coming months regarding the internal features, classes and how we plan to approach to gameplay for The Somme. For now, we leave you with the current media available;

Wow, is this new? I hadn't seen this. Awesome! I've always been interested in WW1. I am tracking this indeed.
Yeah, we've been in the shadows quite sometime preparing to announce. But we're finally here. ;)
Sounds good. I love ww1-games (yeah the two of them that are out there)
I have always wanted to play a WW1 FPS game.
I'm really excited about this game. As you may know there is a huge demand for serious WWI games. Waiting for any of them to be released is like waiting for a final breakthrough, the big push which will bring trench warfare to an and. Lot's of effort, lot's of plans, struggling, and no effects.
From what I've heard the whole idea seems really great. Officers, medics, cooperation, and so on. With considerable realism added this could be a really original and ground breaking game. Definitely will be tracking this one. Good luck and keep up the offensive spirit :)
