Para Bellum - Frontlines
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Dive into instant tactical action alone, or with friends! Para Bellum - Frontlines, combines fast paced old school military shooter action with modern tactical shooter gameplay. Para Bellum - Frontlines is in active development and this is the first public demo of the upcoming game, which features for example:
- LAN/Online (direct connection) co-op gameplay
- Fast paced instant action
- Intricate medical system with bleeding, bandaging and breaking body parts
- Realistic weapon and ammo management
- Vehicles and AT weapons
- Destructible buildings
- Character customization with clothes, weapons, patches and more
Everything is subject to change and more features and content will be added for the game's eventual full release.
In order to host an online game, you need to port forward the port 7777. Once you start hosting a level, make sure not to start the game before all the other players have joined. Clients can join the host by using the host's public IPv4 address. It is recommended to play the game with up to 5 people, but the game technically supports up to 10 players on one server (try at your own risk).

how do i join a server?
Type the IP address (local IP for LAN or public for online server) to the IP address bar in the main menu and press Join IP button below it.
Thanks man
Is this game still alive?
its not sadly. Their other games are also dead
I'm working on stuff in the backend but since I'm doing this for free on my free time, as a hobby and for personal learning, I don't make promises on any releases or updates.
All my games are provided as they are and I will continue their development if I find it worth my personal investment. Making games is a very time consuming endeavour.
oh damn, i thought it was abandoned due to no updates on frontlines and the defense game
Those are all very good suggestions! Thanks for the feedback.
this game is really fun!! do you think you'll add a difficulty option in the future?
Hi! I'm glad you like it so far! The game already has a choice for enemy amounts that affects the difficulty a little but if I keep working on the game for a full release, more powerful and detailed difficulty and other customization options are absolutely on my list.
thanks for your repsonse!!! I'm excited to see what you have in the future for this game))))

Does the multiplayer in this game work? I tried with some friends but it didn't work.
Yep it does. The host needs to port forward their port 7777 first since the game is hosted directly without relay servers. After that other players can join a game they host by using their public IPv4 address. In LAN there's no need for port forwarding and clients use internal ip for joining.
nice shooter retro
Based 10/10 Would get BMP'ed again
Interesting.
