Warside is a turn-based tactics game set on grid-based battlefields. You command military forces across land, air, and sea, maneuvering units through varied terrain to fight opposing forces and capture properties.
Build and deploy from a roster of more than 30 unit types, including infantry, tanks, artillery, aircraft, and naval forces. Different units fill different combat roles, while faction-specific units add further options; captured properties support the battle economy and unit production.
Choose from 14 Commanders, each with passive skills and a Battle Power that can affect the fight when timed carefully. A single-player campaign offers more than 30 missions, with objectives including escort and rescue tasks; multiplayer battles and a built-in editor let players compete and create maps.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy Warside often praise its familiar turn-based battlefield tactics, varied missions, and additional unit concepts. Some also value the map editor and community-made maps.
