About

The battles are going between the artillery units of two conflicting settlements that fight for resources and domination. In order to win, Player should destroy the enemy’s armed forces, capture territories, earn money and upgrade their army. In addition to the main types of units and weapons, you can use unique ordnance, such as radar reconnaissance, volley fire, air strikes, artillery strikes and many others. These powerful arms will make your attacks even more devastating! But it’s not only about your military skills. An arms race and the struggle for a control over factories require some economic planning. The in-game currency and proper resource management will help you surpass your enemies.

Additional and bonus missions with tricky tasks will please even the most demanding player. High-quality graphics and stylish music recreate a harsh atmosphere of the alternative world. An exciting storyline, vibrant characters and shocking final await you. Win the war!
