In an alternate 1960s, the US and Soviet Union wage an interplanetary war over alien bio-metal. You take part as a tank pilot and battlefield commander, fighting from the vehicle’s first-person cockpit.
During missions, you engage enemy forces directly while gathering bio-metal, directing units, and building up a base with production facilities and defenses. Your choices about resources, construction, and troop deployment shape how each battle unfolds.
Two single-player campaigns—American and Soviet—span 29 missions across seven planetary environments. The game also offers online Deathmatch and Strategy modes for 2–8 players, Steam Workshop mods, and a map editor for creating multiplayer arenas.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its unusual blend of first-person tank combat and real-time strategy: they can fight directly while gathering resources, building a base, and directing units. Reviews also praise the campaigns and the appeal of returning to a classic, with some describing the mix as distinctive and replayable. Others criticize unreliable unit behavior, demanding difficulty spikes, and dated controls or interface conventions.
