Angels Fall First is a combined-arms, sci-fi wargame that first released in 2015. After 2 years, the small team behind the game has released Update 29 containing a huge amount of additions, improvements, balance tweaks, and a butt-ton more. They admit that this is a massive update, and there are likely bugs and tweaks that still need to happen, and Update 30 is planned, alongside the game’s 1.0 release from Early Access.

Here’s the Steam store page description:

From commanding the battle standing on the bridge of your flagship all the way down to tactical infantry firefights - AFF brings together all the combat you ever wanted in a rich science fiction setting. Boarding, pilotable capital ships, deep weapon customization and full AI support included! … AFF focuses on team-oriented tactical gameplay and objective-based scenarios with a high degree of replayability…

I’ve been playing it for a while, on-and-off for the past few years. It’s honestly a super fun game and I recommend it if you’re into games like Tie Fighter/X-Wing, Battlefield, and Star Wars Battlefront/Battlefront 2!

The community’s remained rather small and the devs know most people play against the bots, so they’ve improved the AI a ton. I’d personally love to get a crew together to play, so if anyone else is interested, maybe we can schedule an event or something?

    Wish I would have seen this game on release… looks like something I would definitely have gotten into. Love that the team basically took an old-school UT mod and progressed it to a standalone that’s still actively being developed.
