About the Game

Steel Command is a classic-style Real-Time Strategy game built for fans of base-building, resource management, and tactical warfare. Set on the abandoned frontier world of Prosper, you must secure the volatile Yellow ECO ore to fuel your war machine and break a century-long stalemate.

TRADITIONAL RTS SOUL

We’re bringing back the gameplay loop of the golden age. No over-complicated sub-menus, just pure strategy.

  • Build Your Stronghold: Construct functional bases, manage your power grid, and fortify your perimeter against encroaching threats.

  • Master the Fog of War: You cannot rely on a global map; you must scout the terrain manually to locate enemy movements and hidden ECO veins.

  • Grounded Kinetic Combat: Command a gritty, sci-fi army. In Steel Command, there are no energy shields—only heavy plating, railguns, and tactical positioning.

"DEV-GRADE" MISSION EDITOR

The heart of Steel Command is our Integrated Editor. We give you the exact tools we used to build the game.

  • Create Your Own War: If you see it in our campaign, you can build it in the editor.

  • Easy-to-Use Tools: An intuitive yet simple interface allows you to craft custom maps and scripted missions in minutes.

  • Community Driven: Share your creations or download new battlefields.

THREE UNIQUE FACTIONS

Command three asymmetrical factions, each with a unique approach to the battlefield:

  • ASC (Allied Systems Coalition): A high-tech military technocracy using modular bases and orbital-drop capabilities.

  • KOR (Kore Operational Resistance): Rugged survivors fielding "Hardened" junk-tech—slow, heavily armored, and reliable.

  • IVN (Integrated Vanguards Network): An evolved automated grid that recycles the battlefield to expand its swarm.

GAME FEATURES

  • Classic Campaign: Lead your faction through a series of high-stakes tactical missions.

  • Skirmish & PvP: Test your build orders against adaptive AI or jump into 1v1 and team-based online matches.

  • Casual-Friendly Macro: We focus on "Big Picture" strategy. While micro-management matters, a solid base and a better economy will win the war.
