About the Game
A WW1 action game built around fully destructible battlefields where chaos reigns supreme. Explosions tear through terrain, fortifications collapse, and the front line can change shape minute to minute.
Over The Top: WWI turns the grim setting of the Great War into a frantic playground of destruction where plans rarely ever survive first contact.
Pick your Role
Charge as a rifleman, build as an engineer, clear trenches as a pyromaniac flamethrower specialist, or call in airstrikes as an officer. Each class has a clear job on the battlefield, plus plenty of room for improvisation. Choose from three factions: France, Britain, or Germany, each with eight distinct classes. Unlock new equipment and customization as you play.
Sandbox of Destruction
A dynamic, destructive WW1 Sandbox: blow up everything, dig anywhere, reshape trenches, collapse buildings, destroy fortifications. Explosions leave permanent changes that affect sightlines, routes, and cover. Fight across multiple maps, playable in different seasons and daytimes. Use the full map editor to create and share your own battlegrounds.
200-Player Mayhem
Dive into massive 200-player battles! Drop into the middle of an epic war movie, packed with flying debris, collapsing trenches, charging tanks and objectives changing hands as the ground itself gets carved up - pure multiplayer madness awaits you.
A Rich, Bombastic Arsenal
Bring flamethrowers, poison gas, shovels, dynamite, artillery, airplanes, machine guns, and a lineup of vehicles and experimental tanks. Gear up with a mix of historical weapons, use a vast lineup of different vehicles, and other items: slap enemies with a baguette or play the bagpipe to boost morale! Have you ever driven a tank with 10 other players inside? In our game, you can do so!

Hi guys. An earlier hotfix yesterday night accidentially enabled white spheres on some guns. I initially did not notice this during testing, as the guns I was testing all were fine. Once we noticed the problem, we quickly deployed a hotfix attempting a fix of this issue.
The issue however persisted on SOME gun models, but not all. Once again, I failed to catch this, likely due to lack of sleep and released the patch. I then went to bed, thinking everything is fine. When I woke up a few hours earlier, I noticed that the bug was still happening.
I am very sorry for this and will hold myself and only myself personally responsible for this. With this patch, the issue should be fixed for good, once and for all.
In addition to fixing this issue we also added increased FOV to the first person and an option to disable headbobbing in first person.
Changelog:
- Fixed the white spheres bug for good.
- Added option to disable First Person Headbobbing
- Increased maximum FOV in First Person.
- Automatic weapons no longer stay aimed down sights too long after you stop firing.
- Reload now registers if you press it right after a shot, instead of being eaten by gremlins.
- Getting knocked down mid firing your weapon no longer shows fake muzzle flashes or wastes ammo.
- Pressing A and D while sprinting will now turn your soldier diagonally and sprint you diagonally as well.
- Joining a campaign already in progress now shows the correct campaign map and state right away.
- Player positioning improvements

- The campaign no longer skips ahead a round on the clients screen.

- Fixed that the mute menu would no longer show up.
- Fixed that opening the steam overlay would keep your spectator camera stuck moving forward forever.
- Your selected microphone now stays selected even after restarting the game.
