Platoon

Platoon is a simplified, more casual real-time tactics game focused on strategy, tactics and action rather than hardcore military simulation. You command troops as they assault and defend positions, using cover and terrain, calling in artillery strikes and deploying special units. Missions take place in trenches, villages and urban neighborhoods, and most levels take under 15 minutes to complete.

Command your forces

You control multiple squads, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles as they carry out mission objectives. Order troops to take cover and maneuver to gain a better position over the enemy. Infantry and vehicles need to support each other, as each is vulnerable without the other.

Take direct control

You can take direct control of any allied soldier or vehicle. Control a soldier to experience the battle from another perspective, or take over a tank or infantry fighting vehicle to target enemy armor with precision or stop an infantry charge with superior firepower.

Special units

The Lieutenant, Platoon Sargent, Medic and Engineer have abilities that are vital to the platoon's survival and success.

Missions and content

The game includes 7 missions and between 2 and 3 hours of content. It does not include ammunition or inventory management, building fortifications, resupplying troops or reviving wounded soldiers. The game has some occasional rough edges that may annoy some players, though most gameplay is smooth and these issues are not game-breaking.
