    broken-arrowPublisher Slitherine and Developer Steel Balalaika are proud to announce that players can now conduct their army to victory: the most wishlisted RTS is deploying today on Steam.

    Watch the Broken Arrow Release Trailer HERE.

    The success of Broken Arrow precedes its release, with highly successful pre-launch beta tests and over half a million players already registered and ready for battle. The game has accumulated more than 380,000 hours watched on Twitch, 7,000 hours streamed, one million wishlists, and has held a long-standing spot in Steam’s Top 30 Most Wishlisted games. It also recently entered the Top 50 Global Best-Selling games on Steam — all before its official launch.

    To add to the excitement, the Vanguard Edition launched on June 16th and has sold over 150K units so far, and has over 1M wishlists.

    That’s because Broken Arrow plays by different rules.

    In fact, in many real-time strategy games, victory often comes down to brute force. Players typically focus on mass-producing units, launching quick assaults, and hoping to overpower the enemy, with little room for genuine tactics or thoughtful planning. It’s all about speed and sheer numbers.

    In Broken Arrow, victory isn’t about mindless mass production. It’s about strategy, timing, and precision. Players must read the battlefield, identify the best routes to outflank enemy positions, probe for weaknesses, and craft a winning plan tailored to the moment.

    Every unit plays its part. Every move echoes with intent. Only those who can command the tempo of real-time warfare will lead their forces to victory.

    Like maestros guiding a grand orchestra, players must harmonize the battlefield’s many voices: the thundering artillery as pounding percussion, armored divisions roaring like trumpets and horns, elite scouts moving as silently as flutes.

    With 10 distinct military specializations and over 300 units to choose from, each battle becomes a performance: from the 19-mission single-player campaign to the competitive, high-stakes 5v5 online clashes.

    In Broken Arrow, you’re not just leading units en masse in real time — you’re directing a symphony of sharp tactics and precision strategy.

    For more information, Broken Arrow is out now on Steam, and here is the F.A.Q. Discussion.

    broken-arrowPeacetime is drawing to a close. Tension is rising, planes are scrambling in the air and elite military units begin their offensives in the dark, while millions around the world are buzzing with anticipation, holding their breath. Broken Arrow is almost here.

    Vanguard Edition supporters, get ready! You’re the first assault wave, the vanguard commanders who will spearhead the first military operations of the war.

    We’re starting today with the much anticipated launch of the Advanced Access for owners of the Vanguard Edition.

    There’s not much else to say: get in there, enjoy the game, have fun and let us know what you think. Broken Arrow is a game built for and around its community, with the idea that you will help us shape the future of the game. Your feedback will be essential in ensuring that the game keeps growing and improving.

    scramble-battle-of-britainA major update has just landed in Scramble: Battle of Britain, and with it comes a new challenge for RAF pilots: the Dornier 17, one of the Luftwaffe’s most iconic twin-engine bombers, is now available as an AI-controlled enemy in the core game!

    With the arrival of the Do 17, we’re introducing a brand-new layer of tactical complexity to bomber engagements. Players will encounter this new threat in fresh missions featuring enhanced mechanics and an improved UI that will help to track, intercept, and break up the new enemy formations.

    We have reinforced every aspect of bomber intercept missions in Scramble. Pilots may now find bombers escorted by enemy fighters who join the dogfight on a turn delay. Bombers AI will employ evasive maneuvers, and a depleted bomber formation may decide to turn and retreat rather than continue to their objective.

    Scramble bombers are now modeled with animated bomb bay doors and slings. Damaged bombers will jettison their payloads before turning for home, and aircraft with multiple stations will bail all their live crew when fatally damaged.

    Watch the Do17 in action HERE.

    Meet the Dornier 17 and New Enemy Formations

    Nicknamed “The Flying Pencil” for its sleek, narrow design, the Dornier 17 was a fast, agile, low-level bomber that caught many RAF airfields off guard in the early stages of the war.

    Its maneuverability at low altitudes, combined with multiple defensive gun positions, makes it a serious threat in the sky. A well-coordinated Do 17 formation can saturate the air with suppressive fire, forcing RAF pilots to rely on teamwork, timing, and precision. But don’t stick around too long: enemy fighters will be on your tail, diving in to provide top cover for the bombers.

    panzer-corps-2-frontlines-westwallWe’re excited to announce Panzer Corps 2 – Frontlines: Westwall, the next chapter in the Frontlines series, focused on the critical battles along the Siegfried Line between September and December 1944.

    After the collapse of German forces in the Falaise Pocket and the liberation of Paris, the Allies turned their attention to the heavily fortified German border. As commander of US Army formations, you’ll lead the charge through fortified zones, dense forests, and urban strongholds, from the outskirts of Aachen to the Saar region in southern Germany.

    Frontlines: Westwall introduces a dynamic campaign that evolves in intensity. Early progress will come quickly, but the deeper you advance, the tougher the resistance becomes. The DLC features a wide variety of mission types, fortified enemy positions, and several new units and visual elements to enhance immersion.

    wego-world-war-ii-stalingradHi, I’m Brian Kelly, and together with my collaborator John Duquette, we’re excited to introduce WEGO WWII: Stalingrad, a game that immerses you in one of the most iconic and brutal battles of World War II.

    At its core, WEGO WWII: Stalingrad is a hex-based, WEGO-style wargame that puts you in command of the German Sixth Army’s assault on Stalingrad, from the early days of Operation Heron in July 1942 to the intense urban combat in the city during November. What makes this game stand out is its WEGO system, where both players plan their orders and then the movies are executed simultaneously. This adds a layer of unpredictability and strategic depth, forcing you to anticipate your opponent’s actions without knowing exactly what they’ll do next.

    Beyond the core mechanics, we’ve added features like fog of war, night turns, and Bridging Engineers, who help cross rivers and destroy or repair bridges. With off-map assets such as airstrikes, intelligence, and special forces, you’ll need to think beyond the front lines to beat your opponent.

    You can wishlist the game on Steam.
