About the Game

Command your tiny plastic soldiers across massive battlefields and new worlds that we take for granted in the real world.

Fight across living rooms, bedrooms, gardens, forests, and more where everyday objects become towering terrain. Sandboxes, fountains, the base of a tree, rocks that look like mountains, and stuffed animals that feel like giant monuments all become part of the battlefield.

Build a base, defend it against wildlife critters that act as giant monster threats, and fight other factions trying to take control of the map in massive battles with up to eight players or AI.

Key Features

• Direct control mode – Take control of any unit and fight on the ground in real time
• Massive real world environments – Everyday locations become large scale battlefields
• Sandbox base building – Build, expand, and defend your base
• Large scale battles – Up to eight factions competing for control
• Dynamic sandbox warfare – AI factions fight each other, expand, and react
• Multiple game modes – Campaign, skirmish, survival, and gauntlet

Core Gameplay

In this real time strategy game, you can seamlessly switch between commanding your army from above and directly controlling any unit on the battlefield. Take over a rifleman and fire from a trench, use a sniper to pick off enemies from a distance, control an engineer to build out your base, or take over a fighter jet and fly bombing runs over enemy positions.

At its core, the game focuses on building, expanding, and conquering. Start from a single headquarters, capture resource points, grow your army, and push outward while defending your territory with bunkers and trench systems. There is no strict unit cap, allowing battles to scale based on your economy and strategy.

Campaign and Other Modes

On the campaign map, fight for dominance over a neighborhood in a 4X style system. Recruit infantry divisions, armor divisions, and air divisions, then move across regions strategically. Choose to auto resolve battles or fight them directly in RTS gameplay, with battles generated based on the region to keep each encounter different.

The game also includes skirmish across multiple maps, along with randomly generated indoor and outdoor environments that make every battle feel unique.

Units and Warfare

There are many different unit types including anti tank infantry, missile launchers, tanks, colossus mechs, snipers, machine gunners, stealth bombers, helicopters, and more. Air units, transports, and paratroopers allow you to strike anywhere on the map, reinforce positions, or launch attacks behind enemy lines.

Level up your faction using research points to unlock better buildings and stronger units. Build trench systems, fortify key positions, and adapt as the battlefield evolves over time.

World and Wildlife

The battlefield is not yours alone. Creatures such as ants, spiders, and other wildlife act as dangerous neutral threats, attacking any faction that gets too close and adding constant pressure to both players and AI.

AI factions range from very easy to nightmare difficulty. As difficulty increases, they react faster, maneuver more effectively, flank your positions, launch large scale assaults, and use artillery before attacking.

No two battles play the same. Adapt your strategy, build your army, and take control of the battlefield.
