In Line War, you command a shared army in real-time battles. Instead of issuing orders to individual units, draw lines on the map to direct movement, attacks, and defensive positions; nearby units that match a line’s filters can follow its orders.
Expand across the battlefield to gain territory and income, and secure valuable locations such as oil fields. Build structures including barracks, refineries, power plants, and ports to support unit production and keep energy-hungry vehicles, aircraft, and ships operating.
Matches take place on randomly generated maps, with a picking phase for choosing a starting location. Play alone against AI opponents, compete in online duels, teams, or free-for-alls, or cooperate with other players against AI.
Players who enjoy Line War often point to its line-drawing orders as a fresh way to focus on planning and large-scale tactics rather than constant individual-unit control. Some also praise its cooperative matches with friends and the variety offered by generated maps. Reviews note that learning the command system can take time.
Inspired by classic RTS titles like Command & Conquer with a nod to famed board game Axis & Allies, Line War combines elements of 4X, wargame, and real-time tactics genres into a unique strategic experience for veterans and newcomers.
Line War’s versatile control system allows players to quickly and intuitively issue commands by drawing lines across the battlefield to move units, form defensive lines, engage enemies and conquer territories. Configure your command lines to filter out certain units to flank your enemies, dig-in or feed distant frontlines.
This game has a never-before-seen approach that lets you focus on drawing commands and executing a strategy rather than managing individual units. Chain commands and execute orchestrated operations for coordinated attacks against your opponent. This command system sets Line War apart from other strategy games.
Line War features a single traditional, recognizable army to ensure the game’s focus is on balance and strategy. Each unit plays a distinct and carefully balanced role.
