About Over The Top: WWI
Over The Top: WWI is an action‑focused World War I title built around fully destructible battlefields, where explosions, collapsing fortifications, and shifting front lines create constant chaos.
Players choose from France, Britain, or Germany, each offering eight distinct classes such as riflemen, engineers, flamethrower specialists, and officers who can call in airstrikes, and can unlock equipment and customization while playing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Destructible Battlefields
Explosions tear through terrain and collapse fortifications, permanently reshaping the battlefield and altering sightlines, routes, and available cover for all players.
Because changes persist, teams must continuously reassess movement and defensive positions as the front line shifts minute by minute.
- Use explosives to open new routes.
- Watch destroyed structures to avoid exposed lines.

Class Roles

Each faction—France, Britain, or Germany—offers eight distinct classes, allowing customization and equipment unlocks as you progress further.
- Match class to team needs.
- Experiment with each role to discover strengths.

- Use varied terrain to encourage different tactics.

Multiplayer Mayhem
Massive multiplayer battles drop players into chaotic scenes with flying debris, collapsing trenches, and charging tanks.
Objectives shift as the ground is carved up, creating continuous front‑line changes and requiring adaptive teamwork. Players must coordinate assaults, defend new positions, and exploit freshly opened routes to maintain momentum.
- Communicate early about emerging gaps.
- Watch for collapsing structures that can block sight.
