Highlights

Face a real tactical challenge - The game's combat system is based on the easy-to-learn, hard-to-master model. It may seem simple at first glance, but there are countless possibilities:

  • Units have frontal, side, top and bottom armor, and their positioning is very important
  • Fences and other obstacles provide cover in one direction, which depends on the angle of attack
  • Different types of terrain bring different bonuses and affect Line of Sight.
  • Destroyed vehicles and other large objects influence the battlefield and provide cover
  • High Ground mechanics with varying degrees of elevation impact Line of Sight and combat effectiveness
  • Buildings that can be destroyed with different demolition stages create unique challenges
     

Enjoy the incredible visuals - All units and scenarios were made in Unreal Engine 4 with great attention to every detail, achieving a realistic visual style:

  • Realistic unit models with proper physics
  • Visceral elements of devastation: burning tank carcasses, ruined houses, shell craters, smoke, death and destruction. You will be witness to all the horrors of war
  • Varied Environments: Your troops will encounter war-torn battlefields and peaceful settlements with livestock and grain fields. Be careful where you go with the tanks, this picturesque beauty is fragile
  • Fight Multiple Battles - See all sides of the story by completing three campaigns, each with nine operations. The game includes campaigns from the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, all around the time of the arrival in Normandy.
  • Manage your troops - Change or upgrade your units between battles, level them up, and assign heroes with unique abilities to them
  • Take care of team safety - Each unit has a team, which is the heart of it. Losing different team members generates different penalties. Being without a sniper decreases the unit's ability to attack, losing a driver impairs mobility, and so on.
  • Win Any Conflict - Test your skills against an AI on each of the six conflict maps. Different victory conditions require tactical and planning versatility.
  • Prove yourself a master of tactics - Take on real opponents in 2v2 team skirmishes with your friends. The game offers multiplayer battles with up to 4 players, either in real time or using Slitherine's CombatHQ system.
  • Play Your Own Way - Use the editing tool to create your skirmish/multiplayer maps and share them with the community.
