Beachfront Defense — Solo Shooter Overview
Beach Head 2017 puts you in the boots of a lone defender facing waves of hostile forces on a hostile shoreline. This first-person shooter gives you a variety of weapons and support options as you repel attackers across a string of missions. Success depends on fast reflexes, smart use of equipment, and surviving increasingly difficult encounters.
Weapons, Support and Targets
- A mix of firearms and heavy ordnance, from rapid-fire automatic weapons to powerful explosive strikes, are available to you.
- Armored vehicles and airborne threats join foot soldiers, forcing you to switch tactics quickly during engagements.
- Players can call in high-impact support, such as precision air attacks, to turn the tide when the pressure mounts.
- The game draws on recognizable military hardware types — jet bombers, attack helicopters and other combat platforms — for flavor and variety.
Mission Rhythm and Environmental Variety
Missions play out in real time with each day presenting a new challenge. Levels shift between bright daylight and low-visibility night settings, so you must adapt your aim and strategy to changing conditions. As you progress, scenarios become tougher and demand efficient use of resources and positioning.
Modes That Extend Replay Value
- Campaign: Follow the mission sequence and complete objectives to advance.
