About The Hybrid Front

The Hybrid Front is a turn-based strategy game set in a science fiction future. Its narrative backdrop involves Earth's subjugation in the 26th century by a powerful corporate entity named CoCoON, which outlawed most weaponry. This environment has given rise to mercenary "couriers" who traffic in illegal military equipment, and the player commands one such team.

Gameplay occurs on a grid where various unit and terrain types interact, with effectiveness determined by these matchups. Missions are driven by specific objectives, which range from eliminating a target to ensuring the safe evacuation of forces or defending a location, making the strategic approach challenging and variable.

A significant focus is placed on the story, which unfolds through in-mission dialogue sequences. The game also includes an encyclopedia that provides detailed data on characters and the technology used throughout the conflict.
