Command the ultimate floating auto-fortress in Battlecruisers, the visually striking RTS praised for its explosive gameplay, hand-drawn art, and delightfully addictive soundtrack. Also, nukes. Command your colossal Battlecruiser as you strategically build and deploy autonomous units: Turrets, Gunships, Artillery, AttackBoats, GatlingMortars, SiegeDestroyers, and SteamCopters. Your fleet self-operates, freeing you to focus purely on strategic decisions. Accelerate construction by deploying more BuilderDrones, racing your opponents to unleash devastating Ultraweapons and dominate quick, intense battles. Embark on an award-winning single-player campaign as Charlie, an amusingly reckless utility-bot whose joyride aboard the UAC Presidentron’s prized Battlecruiser spirals into chaos. Survive increasingly sophisticated waves of AI warships, cunning mercenaries, and colossal adversaries determined to reclaim the stolen superweapon. Dive into endless multiplayer mayhem, unlocking new weapons each year and customizing your fleet with cosmetic Bodykits, Exoskeleta, and hilarious Heckles—perfect for taunting friends and foes alike. Premium Mode offers ad-free gameplay and unlocks two turbocharged game modes. All in-app purchases are purely cosmetic; victory is solely dependent on your tactical genius. Winner of international and indie game design awards every year 2021-2026, Battlecruisers boasts a 90%+ positive rating and has been deemed "prutty good eh" by the esteemed New Zealand Herald.

About

Strait Command

Features
Read full description

Take command in a focused turn-based operational wargame about a fictional cross-strait invasion. Ration finite missiles and sorties, reinforce the coast, protect national resolve, and hold until partner relief arrives. EVERY WATCH IS A DECISION • Issue orders across three sea lanes, five coastal sectors, and headquarters • Choose between anti-ship salvos, air interdiction, mines, reserves, repairs, and civil defense • Read exact projected effects before committing scarce command points • Resolve each twelve-hour watch and study the full before-and-after report A CAMPAIGN OF READINESS AND LOGISTICS • Track air, missile, and logistics readiness as enemy strikes degrade your options • Decide when to fire, disperse, repair, or conserve the force • Stop convoys in the strait, contest new beachheads, and protect the capital • Survive long enough to unlock three one-shot partner assets THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Strategic Warning: the baseline campaign with time to prepare • Short Notice: a harder opening with degraded readiness and no warning • Daily Strait: a deterministic scenario seeded from the UTC date BUILT FOR REPLAY Every campaign is deterministic from its saved seed. Orders autosave immediately, and the same state always resolves the same way. There are no ads, analytics, tracking technologies, accounts, or network requirements. Strait Command is a fictional conflict simulation about shipping, magazines, readiness, and time. It is not a prediction, operational guidance, or an endorsement of real-world violence.
