Features • a classic real-time strategy or "PC RTS" like in the 1990s or early 2000s • similar titles include CnC, Total Annihilation, Age of Empires and StarCraft • some players said that it reminded them of Real War and Act of War: Direct Action • supports offline play against AI • also supports online multiplayer PvP • units include aircraft, ships and tanks • fast RTS gameplay with no long waits • selection system is designed for easy use on mobile Mechanics • objectives include capture the flag, destroy all enemies, and be the first to get enough money, • transport units across the map by air or water, • stealth units don't notify the other player while attacking, • towers are the defensive buildings, • special units can attack from a distance, without exposing themselves nBase was designed to be like old school RTS titles that were fast paced and actually required strategic thinking to beat an opponent. Here, mindlessly spamming units doesn't work. You need to actually manage your resources, strategically plan your buildings, and have a dedicated attack plan to conquer your opponent's base, while not sacrificing your base's defense.

Capture the flag. Take the factory. Turn the battle. Zed Command is an offline real-time strategy game for iPhone. Lead a robot army, seize territory and break the enemy headquarters in a single-player campaign built around battlefield decisions. Every sector matters. More territory speeds up your reinforcements. A captured factory can change the balance of power. An infantry squad can claim an abandoned tank and turn it against the enemy. TAKE CONTROL OF THE FRONT Command rifle squads, anti-armor infantry, scout vehicles, tanks and defensive turrets. Capture flags, contest factories and protect your headquarters while pushing toward the enemy base. KEEP REINFORCEMENTS MOVING Choose what your factories produce and set rally points for new recruits. Production runs automatically, leaving you to decide where to send your forces and when to strike. PAUSE. PLAN. PUSH FORWARD. Stop the action with tactical pause, select your units and issue orders. Resume when your plan is ready. Use roads, bridges and chokepoints to shape each attack. CLAIM ABANDONED HARDWARE Send infantry to board unoccupied vehicles and turrets. Reinforce your army with equipment already on the battlefield. FIGHT THROUGH THE CAMPAIGN Advance through 12 missions across scrapyard, salt-flat and frozen industrial environments. Learn the controls with interactive field training, choose Easy, Standard or Hard difficulty, and replay completed missions to try a different approach. PLAY ON YOUR TERMS - Offline battles against computer-controlled opponents. - Tactical pause and touch controls designed for landscape play. - Automatic local saves to continue your current operation. - No ads, player accounts, subscriptions or consumable currencies. START WITH THREE FREE MISSIONS Missions 1-3 are free. One optional, non-consumable in-app purchase adds missions 4-12. Missions become playable in order as you win; buying the campaign does not skip progression. An internet connection is needed to buy or restore the campaign. Purchased missions can be played offline after ownership has been confirmed and cached on your device. Battle saves and campaign progress stay on the device and do not sync between devices. Take the ground. Keep the signal.
