Warside

Warside is a new game that cuts to the core of what made classic turn-based tactics games so great. A great story mode campaign, unique Commanders with totally different playstyles, awesome Battle Powers, and a wide variety of terrain and units. Choose your Commander, assemble your forces, and battle your way to victory. Warside is a love letter to the turn-based tactics games of the last three decades. We grew up playing the games that spawned the genre. Games like Nectaris and the Advance Wars series. We have continued to enjoy modern iterations such as Battalion, Into The Breach, Wargroove, and UniWar. Yet we yearn for more. We feel something is missing... something we think we can bring back. If a modern version was released today, what would that look like? How would it play? How do we update the formula whilst retaining the charm of the classics? We combine the game mechanics you already love with awesome new features to push the genre foward. We keep a retro pixel art feel but with higher-fidelity and higher-resolution graphics than any of the genre's predecessors. Warside is the game we have waited for. The game that no one else made.
