About the Game

miniBattle is a bite-sized, turn-based battle game with an oldskool heart. Take turns moving across procedurally generated battlefields and lob shots over hills and trees — but mind the wind, or your grenade drifts wide.

Features

🎯 Turn-based tactics — 2 actions per turn, a 60-second clock, and no two battlefields alike (procedurally generated every match).

💣 Five weapons — Pistol, Machine Gun, Grenade, Cluster Grenade and a long-range Grenade Launcher that leaves craters in the ground.

🌬️ Wind & ballistics — set your angle and power; the wind does the rest. Optional Aim Assist shows a calm-weather trajectory while you still judge the gusts.

🌫️ Fog of War — you only see what's in your line of sight. Hunt enemies by the "!" sound markers they leave when they shoot or move.

🏴 Two modesLast Man Standing and Capture the Flag.

📦 Airdrops — first-aid kits, ammo and grenades drop into the field as the fight heats up.

🤖 Smart bots — practice solo with ruthless opponents.
🛋️ Local hotseat — pass-and-play on a single screen. Gather your friends around one machine and settle the score the old-fashioned way — perfect for game nights. Like we used to.

🌐 Online multiplayer via Steam — host or browse open games, and climb the Online leaderboards!


Pull up a chair, soldier. It's quick to learn, easy to lose an evening to.
