What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Battle Match is an evolving wargaming platform that will grow with its community. Rather than waiting for a distant full release, we want to get the game into players' hands as early as possible — and work together to shape what it becomes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“When I started this project, the world looked very different. The recent changes with agent-based development has turned everying upside-down, and old development processes are no longer relevant. I've temporarily paused the project in order to evaluate the possible paths forward.”

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

“The full release will add:
  • Expanded simulation mechanics supporting a wider variety of weapon systems with higher fidelity.
  • Steam Workshop integration for creating and sharing mods.
  • Clan support and organized competitive play.
  • A guided tutorial.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access launch includes the complete Samurai Wars module:
  • Unit types: Ashigaru, Samurai, Cavalry
  • Weapon types: Yari, Katana, Naginata, Bows, Matchlocks, Guns
  • Sandbox mode (free)
”

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

“The sandbox mode is free — during Early Access and after.”

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

About This Game

Command vast armies of samurai in large-scale tactical battles. Every soldier is individually simulated — watch as
thousands of warriors clash, react, and fight with a life of their own. Outsmart your opponent with superior tactics,
or overwhelm them with sheer force.

Deep Simulation

Battle Match models every aspect of the battlefield:

  • Physics: Ballistics, armor penetration, terrain elevation, vegetation cover, and line-of-sight

  • Psychology: Morale, fatigue, experience, and leadership influence how soldiers fight — and when they break

  • Scale: Every soldier is individually modeled, but you command them in units of tens or hundreds for seamless control

Free to Play

Battle Match is free to download and play.

Samurai Wars

The first Battle Match module is set in Japan's Sengoku Jidai, the age of the samurai — a modern remake of the original Samurai Wars mobile game. Take on the role of a feudal warlord commanding ashigaru, samurai, and cavalry across the battlefields of warring Japan.
