Om spillet

Are you fed up with arcade strategies with units fighting in almost hand to hand distances?
Bored with slow-paced simulators with UI that could be used as torture tool?

Steel Rain

Why?

We are accustomed to the idea that realistic war games almost always lack in graphics, audio, UI department and need lot of time to play.
But they don't have to. They shouldn't….. and that's why Steel Rain idea was born.
We believe that's because war game developers usually aren't players and lack passion for their products.
Time to prove that you don’t need to choose between fun or realism!

Who?

Founded and designed with passion by long time war games player raised on classic series like Steel Panthers, Sudden Strike, Blitzkrieg, Combat Mission, Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, Company of Heroes etc. who believe that the best WWII themed game has yet to come :)

How?

Thanks to vast experience and passion with war games we could take the best from both worlds: casual strategies and realistic war games, without neglecting audio and UI departments that we believe are as important as good visuals for truly immersive and fun wargame experience.
Not less important is also community engagement with game and it's development.

What?

Steel Rain is designed at the very foundation with modding support and multiplayer game modes. It's more war gaming sandbox/platform than some yet another casual WWII themed RTS.
Steel Rain is not just game. It's not just another project. It's a dream. It's a mission to make the ultimate World War II gaming platform, without any compromises.
