About This Game

FIND THEM BEFORE THEY FIND YOU.

Both sides can see the terrain. Neither can see what the other has built. Somewhere out there is their base, and right now they are hunting for yours.

You don't move soldiers around. You run a country's war in the air: the radars that watch your sky, the air defence that guards it, and the drones and missiles you send across the border. Play against the computer or one on one against another player online.

Hold your sky

Their drones are already on their way. Your air defence fires only at what your radars have picked up, and each battery can keep only a few targets in its sights at once. Guess where their raids will come from, and have your guns waiting there.

Burn their economy, then strike the base

Set their refineries on fire, cut their supply lines and starve their economy. Then, when they are weakened, launch the decisive strike on their base from several directions at once.

Fly through the gaps in their radar

You draw every route yourself, hex by hex. A radar sees only so far and only in straight lines. Thread a missile between two radars or hide it behind a mountain ridge, and it reaches the target unseen. The blind zone behind a ridge has a name: radar shadow.

Watch where your aircraft come down. A crash on a town or village kills civilians, and that costs you foreign support.

Scout before you shoot

A missile flies to the hex you point it at and sees nothing on the way. Until a drone with a camera or a satellite has looked at that hex, you're guessing.

Jam their comms

A jammer shoots nothing down. Over its area their aircraft fail more often and fall short of the target, with no shot fired. Cheap radios suffer most. Their satellite can be blinded too, and decoys draw their strikes away.

Every aircraft built to your blueprint

Every drone and every missile is a hull with bays, and what goes in them (warhead, fuel tank, engine, radio, camera) is up to you. The heavier the warhead, the shorter the range. A cheap radio is easy to jam. An autonomous aircraft can't be jammed at all, but it never reports what it saw.

Research opens new hulls and modules, improves detection, air defence and jamming, and unlocks directives for the whole country.

One on one, online

The same hunt, but against a person: neither of you knows where the other's base is.

In development

Radar Shadow is in development. Everything on this page is captured from the current build. If this sounds like your kind of strategy game, add it to your wishlist.
