About the Game

Base Commander is a competitive 5v5 showdown, where one team emerges victorious by capturing a majority of empowered bases scattered across the map. Every individual base your crew successfully holds grants your entire team an epic perk, like deadly bonus attack damage, lightning-fast speed, or even a game-changing tactical advantage. Rally your friends, outplay your rivals, and stake your claim as the ultimate Base Commander.



This isn't your typical MOBA. Base Commander features an open map, and offers easy to understand gameplay within a competitive, yet relaxed, environment. Think Super Smash Bros. meets Heroes of the Storm or League of Legends.



At launch, we are hoping to offer 8-12 playable characters, all with their own unique style, abilities, and personalities. From Guardians Tanks, to sneaky Thieves, to traditional ADCs and Assassins, Base Commander will feel familiar yet refreshing with its dynamic band of characters.



Base Commander is a MOBA game like League of Legends, or DOTA 2, but instead of pushing lanes and taking towers, your team’s primary objective is to capture, or steal, uniquely powered bases. At launch, we'll feature a minimum of 8 Bases, but only 4 will spawn randomly each game, ensuring non-stop action and dynamic gameplay!


By farming Mobs, completing quests, or demolishing enemy players, your team will gather enough gold to purchase bases and items. But be on guard, because the enemy team can steal your bases, and thieves never pay for what they take.



Assemble your ultimate crew and dominate as the unrivaled Base Commanders. Alternatively, charge in solo and carve out a legacy as a legend in your own right. No matter the path, real Commanders forge their own destiny in this universe.




Base Commander offers action packed gameplay and battles. Get ready to be on the edge of your seat as you race to command a base in time or stop the enemy team from stealing what’s yours.





Kills don’t win the game, bases do. Even while down 0-100 in kills, if you outplan you might be able to outplay the enemy team by snatching command right from underneath their nose. Our game’s comeback mechanic of “Free Steals”, but with a steal timer, offers opportunities for teams to turn the tide and return to the action strategically.





So what are you waiting for, Wishlist Base Commander on Steam and Join our Discord to get in on all the early closed playtests. See you soon, Commander.
