Thunder Tier One: Gameplay Preview
UPDATE: your requests have been heard and the Gameplay Preview is extended till 14 Dec 09:00 CET. Thank you for your continued feedback!
As many of you will know, we are currently working hard on Thunder Tier One, a new top-down tactical shooter where players lead an elite military task force battling terrorist operatives. The game is highly strategic, forcing players to think tactically and make key decisions in real time!
Back in October we launched our first Alpha test, and invited selected streamers to play the game for the first time. We were really pleased with how it went, we enjoyed introducing Thunder Tier One to our community and received valuable feedback.
Now we’re excited to be taking Thunder Tier One a step further, and inviting our wider community to play for the first time by joining the Gameplay Preview taking place from Friday 11 December 5:00 CET - Sunday 13 December 17:00 CET.
We have lots of exciting content for players to enjoy, such as single player mode, co-op game modes ‘Advance and Secure’ and ‘Deathmatch’, and two campaign missions that can be played as single or co-op. You can check out a full outline below:
[h2]Advance and Secure[/h2]
Maximum number of players: 8
Single player: no
Details: Advance and Secure is a game mode where two teams battle for control of various sectors across the map. Both sides start with a selected number of tickets, they must then capture their opponent’s capture points in order to take a ticket from them. The match concludes when one of the teams has no tickets left.
[h2]Deathmatch[/h2]
Maximum number of players: 8
Single player: no
Details: Deathmatch mode allows players to go up against one another in a ‘free for all’ setting across two maps. Players earn points through killing one another, with the game concluding when a player reaches a predetermined number of kills - or when the timed session ends.
[h2]Campaign missions[/h2]
[h3]Mission 1: Silver Dew[/h3]
A high value target is held up in an apartment building being guarded by enemy forces. Outside a roadblock has been set up and there are enemy patrols all throughout the area.
Thunder operatives have to figure out how to get past the partols, past the roadblock, infiltrate the building, and capture the target. Once they’ve done all that they still need to fight their way out while keeping the HVT safe for long enough for an extraction team to arrive.
[h3]Mission 2: Cold Stone[/h3]
Deep in the mountains, terrorist forces have stockpiled weapons and ammo, as well as holding a civilian hostage. Enemies patrol the woods the cover the mountain as well as posting guards at multiple fortified positions, including a network of caves that runs through the mountainside itself.
Thunder operatives must destroy the weapon and ammo caches hidden in these fortified locations, rescue the hostage, and escort them to safety.
On top of this, we’ll be inviting players to participate in the speed run challenge for a chance to win prizes. As part of the competition, teams of four will complete campaign missions as quickly as possible and share their videos with the Thunder Tier One team on Discord.
