Background

Warside is a love letter to the turn-based-tactics games of the last three decades.

We grew up captivated by genre-defining classics like Nectaris and the Advance Wars series. These games sparked our passion, and we’ve eagerly embraced their modern successors like Battalion, Into The Breach, Wargroove, and UniWar.

What if a new game could combine the best of the old with innovations from today? How could we refine the formula whilst retaining the charm of the classics?

Warside is our answer. We combine the game mechanics you already love with new features to push the genre forward. We've blended gorgeous pixel art with modern rendering and lighting for a fresh yet nostalgic feel.

How is Warside Different?

Warside is an "action-tactics" game with a bias towards fluid skirmishes and away from turtling. We're turn-based and fast-paced.

All factions have stalemate breaking units for disrupting frontlines. Production changes encourage higher tier units to see more play. Every unit can threaten structures, and it's common to see ownership changing each turn as front lines move.

Warside has asymmetrical factions. We've a common set of base units for everyone, then unique units that can only be built by specific factions. Each faction requires a different playstyle to truly master.

We've still got all the things you love. Unique commanders with individual play styles, easy to learn mechanics, a great story campaign, and it's all presented in gorgeous pixel art.
