What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have been driving a small but very active beta which has provided invaluable balance and gameplay feedback. The next step for us is to bring Micro Wars to a wider audience through this early access. We are aiming to refine and adjust the substantial core of the game ready for you to play now in order to get even more feedback as we continue to fill out the game with more campaign missions, units, and commanders.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re looking for feedback and suggestions which will drive the length of the Early Access. Loosely, we’re looking at fully releasing summer of next year given the additional content we want to add to the campaign and unit roster, but that is heavily dependent on what changes we need to make based on feedback from you in the early access.”

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

“We plan for the full version to have a complete campaign, mobile crossplay, more commanders, more units, and a lot more refinement based on your feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Micro Wars currently has all of the core gameplay features ready to go! We have the first chapter of the campaign consisting of 7 missions. There are 13 unique commanders, and 30+ units ready for you to jump in. We expect more campaign missions, commanders, and units to trickle in throughout the early access period. Micro Wars currently supports up to 8 player online matches via matchmaking and custom game lobbies with the latter including a full built-in map editor and integration with the Steam workshop for sharing maps. There also are replays, observers, and an AI for custom games to try strategies out against.”

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

“We plan to increase the price slightly after early access based on content and to give a discount for our early adopters.”

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

“We plan to be active in the Steam forums, our discord, and hold livestreams with and for our players to receive feedback and improve the game. We like to be very responsive with regular and frequent game updates with features, bug fixes, and balance changes. Please join our discord to help shape our development process!”

About This Game

Micro Wars condenses the classic real time strategy formula down into a small, compact form. Build a base, mine some resources, train some units, and then make sure to micro and position them well in short, fast paced battles.

Pick from 13 unique commanders, each with a special twist on gameplay and a unique ability. Maybe, you’ll pick Elias, the mechanic, who can research new units faster and cheaper than his comrades and can call down a healing beam to replenish his depleted forces. Perhaps instead you’ll choose Voltaire, the master tactician, who can leverage the terrain to his advantage and can construct a temporary bunker anywhere on the battlefield. Or, you prefer to rule the skies with Estelle, the flying ace, who’s aircraft carry heavier payloads to their targets and who can call in an airstrike to deal devastating damage in a wide swath across the battlefield. Craft a strategy suited to your specific playstyle and devastate your opponents!

With your commander, further customize your army by choosing 9 units to bring into battle. Will you keep an even mix of early and late game across infantry, vehicles, and air units or will you specialize to execute your strategy? Units follow a rock-paper-scissors model, such as flamethrower units burning enemy infantry to a crisp, but barely able to leave a scratch on tanks. With over 30 units to pick from, there's always a fresh approach to take to crush your opponents!

With a selection of armies ready to take to the battlefield, bring your friends along in online battles with up to 8 players. Maybe you'll team up to climb the ladders in the ranked matchmaking, or jump into a custom game lobby for a wild free-for-all. A builtin map editor and the Steam Workshop lets you explore endless creativity and map mode types if you aren't feeling like matchmaking. Or, perhaps you want to watch your friends and take notes on their strategies with the observer mode and replays?

Maybe you need a break from all that online gaming and you want to work through the campaign following Elias and Voltaire as they fight for the Union against the resurging Dominion forces.

No matter what mode you want to play, take Micro Wars on the go with a touch-friendly interface and an even playing field between mouse/keyboard and touch.

Micro Wars is a passion project with a small development team.
