Mythical City Games have today released the sequel to Battle Fleet 2 - Battle Fleet: Ground Assault, for PC and Mac. Building on the series’ roots of turn-based, strategic gameplay, this time, it focuses on land battles, and has added destructible environments, armor, shell types, single player campaigns, and a multiplayer mode.

Steam

The Normandy invasion has started and it’s time to move your battalions of tanks off the beaches and into the battlefields of Europe. You are in command of each tank, all the way down to the angle and distance of each shot. Choose your shell type and take on the armored machines of the Axis powers, or switch sides and defend fortress Europe from the Allied invasion.

Features include:

  • Multiple campaign modes – single player, random skirmish, full cross-platform multiplayer, or hotseat multiplayer.
  • Build your army from 20 different tanks, each one unique to each faction, with different armor, guns, mobility, and hit locations; for example, you can choose between High Explosive or Armor Piercing shells to do the maximum damage to your enemy, and aim at different sides of the enemy tanks to try and penetrate their armour.
  • Utilize recon planes to reveal enemy locations or airstrikes to target dangerous tanks.
  • Tank commanders gain experience with each Campaign battle, so prepare to fight and level up across the Western Europe campaign, with new campaigns coming later this year.
  • Use artillery to protect your lines in campaign battles, and deploy Strategic Command Cards to surprise your enemies with special actions like laying mines, sabotage, enhanced aiming, airstrikes, merrily destroying full 3D models of WW2 era tanks.
  • VR Support for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality will be coming soon.

“Battle Fleet: Ground Assault has been in development for a couple of years now and we are happy to finally deliver this new installment of the franchise to the fans. While keeping the science and game design from Battle Fleet 2, using armored vehicles instead of vessels, enabled us to create an even more authentic battlefield experience,” says Mythical City Games CEO, Jedrzej Jonasz
