About This Game

One war, two sizes

WARTIDE runs as a small always-on-top widget in the corner of your screen while you work, browse or watch. When the swarm arrives, go full screen and take command. Same battle, same save, your choice of size.

Hold the line from every direction

No lanes. Enemies close in from 360 degrees, wave after wave, with all-out assaults, enemy commanders and night attacks. Your army has a cap, so where you deploy and what you field matters more than how much

Evolve your army through three eras

Start with WWII halftracks and Shermans. Evolve eight vehicle lines (recon, carriers, tanks, tank destroyers, artillery, air defence, helicopters and jets) through the Cold War to modern armor, open every vehicle in your garage, and file every unit you meet in the codex.

Call in the big guns

Strafing runs, cluster bombs, carpet bombing, rocket artillery. Commander abilities (artillery barrage, smoke screen, reinforcements) unlock and grow stronger as you prestige.

Conquer the campaign, survive the outbreak

Take 14 regions on the campaign map for lasting bonuses, all the way to the capital at wave 150. Then switch to Outbreak mode: build turrets, hold the shelter and survive a horde of thousands.

Good to know

  • Single-player, Windows. Runs as a resizable desktop widget or full screen. Cloud saves.

  • Idle-friendly: your army fights on its own, auto-command keeps the line manned. All-out assaults and the later eras still need your decisions.

  • Every run pays: Micro Conductors from a lost run buy permanent upgrades, and each one takes you further. Nuke a strong run (prestige) for new headquarters buildings and commander abilities.

Pin it. Play it. Let the war rage on.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

Wartide is made by a solo developer, and AI tools are part of how one person can build and compete at this scale. AI was used for some store page assets and for select in-game art in supporting roles, never as the focal point. Nothing was dropped in as-is. Every asset was directed, edited, designed and placed with human intent.
