Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have seen really positive results through collaboration with our community of beta testers, which provided invaluable balance and gameplay feedback, ultimately enhancing the gameplay experience. We aim to continue this process by releasing a substantial portion of the game and its features to a broader audience ahead of our scheduled Spring release date.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Since this is entirely based on player feedback and requested features we may add to the game, we have no exact estimate for how long we'll be in Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The core game is largely in place, with both factions fully playable and a full campaign to play through. We plan to add more online game features, a second campaign, more weekly challenges, and expect to incorporate suggestions and bug fixes discovered between early access and our full launch.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“9-Bit Armies already has two complete factions to choose from, Skirmish, Multiplayer (with a variety of maps to use in each mode), one complete campaign, weekly challenges, and mod support which allows players to start creating their own maps, missions, and other content.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are uncertain if the price will be adjusted after launch. This will be largely dependent on the amount of new content and features after Early Access launch.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Our plan is to utilize the Steam forums, our Discord server, and have live events with our players periodically to receive feedback and further improve the game.”

  • New Base-Building Options: We’ve added MEGAstructures to the game which are mega-sized and extra-deadly. There are also new Superweapons and a mobile HQ to rapidly expand your power across the map.
  • GINORMOUS Maps: Playable area has increased by 400%! That’s right, our maps are 4X bigger than they were in the original game, providing plenty of space for those epic skirmish and multiplayer games.
  • Bridges: Utilize bridges to reach islands or deny access to the enemy ground troops with our new game mechanic that dynamically changes strategies.
  • New CHALLENGE Mode: Every day you’ll get to compete in a new challenge against the AI to earn the highest score possible on the leaderboards.
  • MOD Support: Release your own maps, missions, and mayhem by changing everything from game balance to mission objectives and game mechanics. Share your creations with others through the Steam Workshop.




    And, you get all the goodies that made the 8-Bit series such a blast…

    Easy To Learn, Hard To Master: No previous experience necessary! Easy-to-understand modern-military units and structures let beginners jump right in. Whilst veteran players will learn how to master the fast-paced economy and unit abilities.

    "The Sentinels" Campaign: Fight the Overlords in a battle for freedom....and an unknown threat from beyond...

    Play With Friends: Conquer the campaign in Co-Op or join against others in huge maps supporting up to 8 armies.
