Why it matters
A fan project built in a tool made for 2D role-playing games has produced a large-scale FPS with maps, weapons, and a multiplayer-style UI, which says as much about RPG Maker's flexibility as about the creator's affection for Battlefield.

Players fight as infantry, use vehicles and heavy weapons, call on dragon firepower, and support allies as a medic or healer. It is distributed through Weltmaschine's Google Drive.
The project reportedly came together in one go during a break after university exams, yet it carries a wide spread of maps and weapons. The presentation borrows Battlefield's online-multiplayer framing, with UI elements that point back to the original, while the fantasy setting does the work of separating it from a straight copy. Weltmaschine does not guarantee the game runs in a Japanese environment, though the creator confirmed it launches on their own PC. Downloading fan-made content is done at the user's own risk.
