8-Bit Armies is a real-time strategy game in a colorful, blocky voxel style. You lead a modern military force, building a base and assembling an army to take on enemy forces.
Gather resources from oil drills and bring them to refineries, then use the income to construct buildings and produce units. Defend your base, expand your forces, and attack opponents across destructible maps.
Play 25 single-player campaign missions, 12 co-op missions, AI skirmishes, or online PvP. Campaign objectives can unlock units and additional starting forces or resources for later missions.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its approachable, fast-moving take on classic base-building RTS, its retro voxel style, and the chance to play with friends or family. Some also like unlocking extra units and starting forces through mission objectives. Other reviewers find the campaign repetitive or thin on story, and describe the strategy and AI as limited.
