Our take on The Homestead Invasion
The focus on reclaiming and defending outposts narrows the current gameplay structure. That specialization leaves less room for varied objectives, story progression, and stealth systems, which are described as planned additions rather than current features.
What is The Homestead Invasion?
The Homestead Invasion is an action-adventure game about restoring abandoned outposts and defending them from monstrous attackers.
In the Reclamation mode, players travel to an outpost, reactivate its systems, and work with an AI companion through a handheld radio. Defense involves boarding doors, securing hatches, building barricades, and using a range of weapons while enemies track the player. The first Reclamation map is set at outpost 1, with additional maps described as periodic releases. The game supports Oculus with a two-sensor setup and Vive. It also includes multiple movement controls, including sliding, and presents its setting in a stylized comic-book world.
