Battlezone: Combat Commander remasters FPS-RTS classic Battlezone II with slick new visuals, brand new achievements, Steam Workshop support and much more! The solar system is at war. Take command.
Developed by Big Boat Interactive · Published by Rebellion









As a commander in the International Space Defence Force, you help resist an alien attack across the solar system. The game combines first-person combat with real-time strategy: you fight on the battlefield while directing your forces.
Scavenge bio-metal to fund units, defenses, and facilities, then command a battalion of more than 30 unit types. You can shift between direct combat and battlefield command as you face enemy forces.
The campaign spans 24 missions across six worlds. Units gain combat experience and become more effective, while multiplayer includes Deathmatch and the cooperative MPI mode, where players manage offense, defense, and scrap collection together.
In the supplied reviews, players often value the unusual blend of first-person combat and real-time command, along with the nostalgia of revisiting Battlezone II and its updated presentation. Some also enjoy its story, campaign, and multiplayer. Criticism includes campaign missions that can stall or require restarts, awkward controls or unit behavior, and balance or difficulty frustrations.
