HandyGames’ Upcoming ‘1942 Pacific Front’ Will Deliver More World War II Hex-Grid Turn-Based Strategy

HandyGames has a new hex-based strategy game for those of y’all who only play games with six sides or more. 1942 Pacific Front is a turn-based strategy game, a sequel to 1941 Frozen Front (Free) which takes place, naturally, in the Pacific front of World War II, as you command land, sea, and air forces in battles between American and Japanese forces. Check out the trailer for the game:

The game is expected to be universal and will be free-to-play, though HandyGames is promising that the game is not pay-to-win. They’ve done this exact business model with 1941 Frozen Front, so fans of that game may be well-equipped to comment on whether Handygames can live up to that promise. The game is expected to release “soon," though we have no specific release date yet. If you’re interested, there’s a forum thread where you can chat about the game, and a HandyGames representative is chatting with users in the thread.
