About the Game


Alien Battlefield is a 2D strategy game that combines two game modes: real-time strategy and chess mode. You will have to explore the capabilities of more than 20 unique units, amass resources, upgrade buildings, and intelligently place and manage units to achieve victory in challenging dueling battles. Fight against the computer or other players online.

Real-Time Strategy Mode



In real-time strategy mode, you have to manage your resources, units, and time, because it is a dynamic game. Try to work out your strategy for the game. You will need to accumulate resources, modernize buildings and units to outpace your opponent's progress. Each upgrade of the main building will unlock new units. You will be able to choose different branches of modernization to be able to create new units. The one who destroys the main tower wins.
Be careful, because the enemy doesn't sleep either!

  • Accumulate and use resources.
  • Modernize buildings.
  • Create and modernize units and fight them.
  • There are more than 20 unique units in the game.

Chess Mode



In chess mode, the game goes on for several rounds, each of which is divided into two phases: preparation for the round and battle. During the preparation you will have to place a limited number of units into positions. Try to pick good combinations for smooth interaction. In the battle phase you will no longer be able to control the units, only their abilities. If a unit is destroyed, it can no longer take part in further rounds. The one who destroys all enemy units wins.

  • Place different units on the map.
  • Use unit skills in battle.
  • Guess the opponent's deployment and reasonably arrange the units to restrain the opponent.
