A deliberate and grim real-time strategy game set in the trenches of World War I, emphasizing tactical positioning and resource management over fast-paced action.

What players say
Players praise the historical accuracy and WW1 atmosphere, but nearly all agree development stopped shortly after release, leaving the game with repetitive battles, clunky AI, and missing features. Many recommend buying only on a deep sale.
