In a fictional world torn apart by constant warfare, societies of rats, mice, cockroaches, and lizards relentlessly pursue the interests of their nations. As these ambitions clash, one battlefield sees the end of all hope for peace. Advances in steam and diesel engines have given birth to merciless weapons of destruction, plunging the world into an era of unprecedented technological brutality.

This war spans three distinct continents, each offering unique and challenging combat environments, but among them all are charred corpses, bomb craters, and the scars of incessant fighting.

The Central Continent boasts swampy terrain and trench-ridden ground, making troop movement difficult and creating tactical challenges. The Eastern Continent is fortified with military bases, creating serious obstacles to any assault. The desert continent is famous for its sandstorms and dunes, which obscure visibility and complicate combat.

Most buildings are destructible, allowing for a variety of tactical approaches when assaulting enemy positions and forcing players to strategically think through cover options.

Welcome to “Tactical Warfare,” an immersive real-time strategy (RTS) experience that immerses you in an enthralling narrative of interstellar exploration, colonization, and unyielding conflict.

The tactical war game is a strategic game with a classic perspective system and an enhanced artistic style, featuring an exciting story about a war between two forces, both human, but one group comes from a parallel planet to Earth after the destruction of their planet, seeking a new home. They face resistance from the indigenous inhabitants who consider it an alien invasion. To excel in the game, you must create a tactical battle plan. Based on that plan, you must balance between defense, offense, and resource acquisition.

The game currently consists of two main factions: the Terrans, the army of native citizens on Earth fighting against the space invasion, and the Assarlions, humans who came from a planet similar to Earth from a distant place. Each faction in the game has different and unique elements with varying combat abilities and styles, including tanks, combat vehicles, various types of aircraft, soldiers, and robots.

Game Features

• Base Construction: The base construction system in Tactical Warfare is designed for speed, flexibility, and strategic depth. It allows players to develop both defenses and military units simultaneously, eliminating the traditional wait times seen in classic RTS games. With a customizable layout and intuitive blueprint deployment, players can easily design and expand their base to match their tactical needs—whether focusing on fortification, rapid expansion, or frontline dominance—all while ensuring strong and secure defense from the start.
• Resources: Money in the game is essential for victory, so players need to build their plans based on sufficient cash flow. The lack of funds leads to a halt in progress in the war. The game includes several systems for obtaining money, and players must choose the most suitable method for investing funds, either by increasing the economy through available methods, building defenses to fortify economic structures, or constructing an army to attack the enemy.
• Campaigns: Step into the heart of the conflict through two immersive single-player storylines. Choose to lead the Terrans in their fight to protect Earth or the Assarlions as they struggle to find a new home after the destruction of their world. Each mission introduces unique challenges, unit limitations, and evolving strategies tailored to the narrative arc.
• Skirmish: The game will have a customized battle, where the player can choose the map, number of players and difficulty (for AI), the winner who dominates the game.
• Third-Person Combat Mode – “In-Field Action”: Take direct control of any RTS unit and dive into the battlefield from a third-person shooter perspective: In-Field Control: Control tanks, aircraft, ships, and more from the front lines; Hybrid Gameplay: Continue building and managing your base while in TPS view; Tactical Command: Switch between units seamlessly and lead your army from the ground.
• No Base Mode – Tactical Combat Only: A unique gameplay mode focused entirely on combat tactics: No base-building, no resource gathering; Fixed income system; Win using pure unit strategy and battlefield awareness; Available in both Offline Skirmish and Online 1v1 Multiplayer.
