How it feels

A deliberate, tactical wargame that emphasizes strategic choices and realistic unit behavior over fast-paced action.

What players say

Players see this as a promising but rough early-access take on Close Combat. The core gameplay is praised, but reviews consistently highlight clunky controls, a lack of content, and confusing campaign mechanics. Some note unbalanced tank-infantry combat and performance issues, while others enjoy the strategic depth and low price.
