“It's a bit old and clunky, being based off the Men of War engine, but it's also an excellent WW1 real-time tactics game, that's actually pretty authentic in terms of how it portrays the period.”

Features:

  • realism
    The game recreates battles of First World War as realistically as possible - each unit has a personal inventory and weapons, vehicle damage is calculated by the thickness and inclination of armour, guns differ in calibers and available types of shells.
  • Authenticity
    Our game recreates the atmosphere of the era of the First World War - uniforms and vehicles were made from sketches and drawings of the time of the World War I, game maps are based on real locations of hostilities. Gas attacks, shrapnel shells, horses, involvement of first tanks and flamethrowers, and many other features of the First World War have been implemented in the game.
  • Tactics
    The basis of gameplay of the Battle of Empires is management of your infantry squads, organisation of their cooperation and skillful use of the vehicles provided to you. You will have to solve complex tactical problems with different possible outcomes, that can change the course of the mission.
  • Game environment can also be used to your advantage - all objects can be destroyed to create a path for infantry or used as a cover from enemy fire.
  • Co-op
    Each story mission is available in cooperative mode - you can fight and complete the missions with three other players (4 including yourself).
