## What is Tactical Assault Commander?

TACTICAL ASSAULT COMMANDER is a combat strategy simulation game.

Assume command of an elite five-man combat squad!

Manage your squad's economy by selecting the right weapons, grenades, and gear for each round of combat. 

Choose from a HUGE arsenal of over 25+ weapons! 

Earn money by taking down enemies and winning the rounds- then upgrade your weapons for the next round!

Direct your squad's tactics as you attack or defend bomb sites and eliminate your enemies. Set waypoints to move your squad and command your team to throw Grenades- or Fire, Smoke, Flashbang and Decoy grenades. 

Loot your downed enemies for better weapons.

TAC Mode: 
Classic Attack/Defend bomb site mode. 
The ATTACK team must plant the bomb at a bomb site. Detonate the bomb or eliminate all enemies to win the round. 
The DEFEND team must prevent the bomb plant, defuse the bomb, or eliminate all enemies to win the round. 

ARCADE Mode:
Classic Team Death Match style mode. Eliminate all enemies to win the round. 

Play TAC across a variety of well balanced maps. 

TIPS:

- If the soldier can afford it, always replenish armor / helmet before each round. 

- As a DEFENDER: "Don't be a loser, buy a defuser!". Purchasing a defuser kit will reduce the bomb defuse time by half! 

- Utilize the correct tactics for the weapons you have - Pistols aren't great at long range. If that's all you've got, stick together and try to engage from a closer distance. 

- Smoke will obscure your position from the enemy- utilize Smoke to sneak into position. 

- Use Flashbangs to temporarily stun your enemies. Stack your squad up and flash bang your way into the bomb site. Be careful not to stun your own squad members! 

- In a long match, on some rounds you may want to save your money so you can purchase stronger weapons for the next round. 

Good luck, Commander!

### 1/5 — Not a good game

*2023-02-13, version 1.4.0*

Just straight up cheeks.

### 1/5 — Player UI

*2022-10-11, version 1.4.0*

Not only do you always start with pistols against shotguns, machine guns and worse, the player controlled units are always looking the wrong way and can’t hit anything. Can’t find a weapons menu or store, not that the player even has any money to get better anyways. Lose every battle, tried about 20 times before giving up. This game is garbage.

### 1/5 — One of the worst games I’ve ever played

*2021-04-12, version 1.4.0*

My four troops with the most expensive rifle dies to 1 enemy with a pistol the combat is trash and so bad. You should have made all the levels interior for close combat battles. Your team ends up seeing enemies from 500 miles away and the enemies ALWAYS have better accuracy. You should make a target button to focus an enemy and an indoors map. And I don’t get how my team of 5 can’t beat one enemy when the enemy has an m9 pistol and my team has the aug along with the spas 12 and why does the spas 12 shotgun do so little damage? This game is just hot garbage and needs a full rework and the only command is to move , there’s no fighting command and there are John wick enemies fighting storm trooper aim soldiers of mine. This game was most likely rushed for money and not worked for as an actual game.

### 5/5 — No need for WiFi

*2020-10-22, version 1.3.0*

It’s a good game but please make it not need WiFi

### 5/5 — Actual good game

*2020-06-02, version 1.2.1*

Please update the game more I feel like it would be an amazing game if you added multiplayer and also if you can play with freinds

### 4/5 — Ai problema

*2020-03-27, version 1.2.1*

This game is very good. Though the problem is that the AI is way too hard for me. Is it okay if you add a AI level? That would make the game better to play.

### 5/5 — LEGEND

*2019-12-14, version 1.1.3*

Legend for making this, exactly what i was looking for

### 5/5 — Pls add more maps this game is so cool

*2019-12-05, version 1.1.3*

Great game really fun pls keep updating the game

### 5/5 — I have some ideas

*2019-11-18, version 1.1.3*

Here is some ideas, more skins for soldiers, more game modes like domination and survival and zombies,  difficulty levels for the AI, maybe user map creation,  new weapons, more teams, I really hope this game works out well, good luck guys👍🏻

### 5/5 — Good start

*2019-09-29, version 1.1.3*

It’s really cool and I love it there are some problems like a dude spraying down my team inside the space of a second killing them all. Also my team can’t seem to handle defending a site the opposite team just walks in no nades or anything and my team can hardly do anything. Keep balancing and updating. So far great work
