About This Game

Stand at the head of the formation—not above it. In Lead the Charge, you control a legendary commander in real time while directing an entire army through fast, readable battlefield orders. Break a line with Charge, stop a collapse with Hold, or unleash a timed Volley while your hero fights in the thick of the melee.

Build a force from 64 unit types, recruit 28 historical commanders, and adapt your army across 14 battlefields inspired by China, the steppe, Japan, Persia, and South and Southeast Asia. Every run asks you to balance personal combat, formation spacing, unit synergy, and battlefield upgrades. One correct order can turn an encirclement into a rout.

Features
