Fractured Command

Read full description

FRACTURED COMMAND The chain of command has collapsed. A once-unified military is divided. Lead your squad through a civil war where both sides share comparable weapons and equipment. Your advantage comes from positioning, timing, and disciplined command. Fractured Command is a real-time squad-based tactical game built for mobile. Command five soldiers in intense battles lasting just over five minutes. PUSH THE FRONTLINE Fight across three connected objectives, with one active frontline concentrating the battle. Secure the center, advance into enemy territory, and defend against counterattacks. Use your soldiers’ presence to reverse enemy capture progress and break a stalemate. Capture all three objectives or eliminate the enemy’s soldiers and remaining reinforcements to win. When time expires, territory decides the result, followed by remaining forces. DIRECT SQUAD COMMAND Choose when to advance, hold, flank, or retreat. Use cover, suppression, tactical equipment, and coordinated assaults to create an opening. Switch to Drone View to assess enemy positions before committing your squad. Protect your drone operator to retain reconnaissance and your ammo carrier to sustain the fight. LIMITED REINFORCEMENTS Start each battle with five soldiers. Each squad position has two dedicated replacements. Reinforcements are finite, and every casualty matters. Balance the pressure to take ground with the need to preserve enough soldiers to hold it. PRIVATE ONLINE MATCHES & AI SKIRMISHES Challenge another player using a private match code or test your tactics against an AI-controlled squad. Practice defensive holds, coordinated advances, and counterattacks. Internet connection required, including AI Skirmish. NO BASE BUILDING. NO RESOURCE FARMING. Configure your squad before deployment, then focus on combat. No bases to construct, resources to harvest, or production queues to manage during battle. FEATURES • Real-time command of five soldiers • Three connected objectives and a moving frontline • Territorial advances, counterattacks, and contested captures • Limited reinforcements • Private online squad-vs-squad matches • AI Skirmish battles • Squad management and customization • Assault, LMG, and Sniper classes • Tactical positioning, suppression, and flanking • Drone reconnaissance and ammo-carrier support • Directional combat audio • Touch controls designed for mobile tactics A MILITARY DIVIDED Both sides originate from the same armed forces. Comparable equipment keeps the focus on battlefield awareness, coordination, and tactical decisions. Grounded military environments and directional audio create an atmosphere of pressure and survival. Headphones recommended. Taking ground is only the beginning. Your squad must survive to hold it. The chain of command has collapsed. Hold the line. Decide what remains.
