About GROUND BRANCH

GROUND BRANCH casts you as a member of the elite paramilitary arm of the CIA's Special Activities Center and Special Operations Group, leading special operations forces through deniable missions across the globe. Deliberate, calculated, and unforgiving, it sets out to revive the tactical realism genre that defined shooters of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Built on Unreal Engine 4, this indie tactical FPS aims to put the emphasis firmly back on the word tactical, refusing to compromise for the sake of accessibility.

Its True First-Person System ties your view directly to your character's physical presence in the world, erasing the usual disconnect. If your foot pokes out from cover, enemies can see and shoot it, but only when their line of sight and muzzle are genuinely unobstructed, since cameras sit at the eyes and bullets originate from the weapon's muzzle. A minimal, largely optional HUD keeps vital information available without cluttering your field of view or breaking immersion.

Customization runs deep, discarding pre-defined kits in favour of extensive control over your character and gear, from basic appearance and clothing down to detailed vest and weapon platform setups. As a simulation-leaning action shooter on PC, GROUND BRANCH rewards patience, awareness, and careful planning over reflexes alone.
