Wartide

Wartide is a single-player strategy game that runs as a resizable, always-on-top widget while you work, browse or watch, or in full screen. You command the same battle and use the same save in either view. Your army fights on its own, with auto-command keeping the line manned, but all-out assaults and later eras still call for your decisions.

Defend from every side

Enemies attack from all 360 degrees in successive waves, including all-out assaults, enemy commanders and night attacks. Your army has a unit cap, so choosing where to deploy and what to field matters.

Evolve your army

Your forces begin with WWII halftracks and Shermans and can advance through the Cold War to modern armor. You develop eight vehicle lines: recon, carriers, tanks, tank destroyers, artillery, air defence, helicopters and jets. You can unlock every vehicle in your garage and record each unit you encounter in the codex.

Call in support

You can use strafing runs, cluster bombs, carpet bombing and rocket artillery. Commander abilities include artillery barrages, smoke screens and reinforcements; they unlock and grow stronger as you prestige.

Campaign and outbreak

In the campaign, you take 14 regions on the map to earn lasting bonuses, advancing toward the capital at wave 150. Outbreak mode shifts the fight to a horde of thousands: build turrets, hold the shelter and try to survive.

Progress between runs

Runs earn Micro Conductors, including runs that end in defeat. Spend them on permanent upgrades to help you progress further. You can also prestige by nuking a strong run, unlocking new headquarters buildings and commander abilities.
