About the Game

Government Contractors: Arms of Influence is a one-of-a-kind strategy game where you research, design, manufacture, and sell weapons. Starting with the 1950s, you follow accurate historical events and attempt to produce the most successful technologies for your client.

Research technologies to unlock new, advanced weapons and parts. Choose your preferred materials and parts, but be aware that your success rate may be affected by cheap choices. Get your parts sourced and produced from domestic manufacturers, allies, or rivals.

While you play, historical events may affect your budget or assignments. 

During Early Access, you have access to four era's which we hope to expand during Q3 2025.

Key features

  • Historical accuracy: All weapons and events in-game are based on real events that happened (or could have happened) at the time. 

  • Choices matter: Being a cheapskate or making risky decisions affects your success rate and may lead to political issues. Choose wisely.

  • News feed: Remember to check up on what is happening in the world. Political disruptions and government changes may affect your business.
