8 itemsAbout the Game
Shadows of War II reimagines modern kinetic conflicts as a paced side-scrolling real-time strategy game where tactics, timing, and destruction define victory or defeat.
Choose your allegiance from one of the four armies, each fielding the same core arsenal of six distinct unit types:
Infantry
Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Main Battle Tank
Mobile Anti-Air
Self-Propelled Artillery
Attack Helicopter
Each unit has its own set of strengths and weakness, be it their health and armor, firepower, range or speed. Call in devastating Support Strikes, from precision cruise missiles over artillery barrages to bombing runs that can turn the tide in an instant or be a complete waste of money and resources.
Pick one of five unique commanders, each offering three exclusive abilities or elite units. Tailor your strategy to your playstyle - whether you favor overwhelming firepower, surgical strikes, or defensive resilience.
Engage in four distinct gameplay modes that keep every match dynamic and tense. Push the front line, adapt to enemy counters, and claim victory through relentless pressure.
Each of your own units, support strikes or abilities will cost you. The destruction of your enemies is for your gain - so remember to manage your economy and keep an eye on morale, as there is more than one path to victory.
Maps: Battle across a selection of handcrafted maps with distinct shapes and slopes or dive into endlessly fresh procedurally generated maps.
Environments: Every skirmish plays out with procedurally generated fauna and backdrops, ensuring no two conflicts ever look or feel the same.
Destructible Terrain: Level defenses, crater the battlefield, and reshape the frontline with your firepower.
Online Multiplayer: Grab a friend and test your strategic abilities or auto match with other players.
