Fractured Command

Read full description

FRACTURED COMMAND Fractured Command is a real-time tactical warfare game set during a civil war where a once-unified military has collapsed into opposing factions. Both sides originate from the same armed forces and fight using similar weapons, equipment, vehicles, and battlefield doctrine. Victory is achieved through positioning, coordination, map control, and tactical decision-making rather than technological superiority. Take direct command of a small combat squad and fight across contested battlefields in fast, intense engagements designed specifically for mobile play. TACTICAL REAL-TIME COMBAT Control your soldiers directly during high-pressure combat engagements focused on positioning, suppression, flanking, coordinated assaults, and battlefield awareness. Every movement matters. OBJECTIVE-BASED WARFARE Capture and defend strategic zones to pressure enemy forces and dominate the battlefield. Control territory. Control the fight. NO BASE BUILDING. NO RESOURCE FARMING. Fractured Command is entirely focused on combat and battlefield tactics. There are no construction timers, resource collectors, upgrade queues, or passive economy systems. Every second is spent making combat decisions, maneuvering your squad, and fighting for control of the battlefield. ONLINE MULTIPLAYER & AI BATTLES Fight against other players online using private match codes or battle AI-controlled enemy forces. Train your tactics, improve squad coordination, and adapt to evolving battlefield conditions through repeated combat engagements. BALANCED CIVIL WAR SETTING Both factions share comparable military equipment due to the fractured structure of the original army. Combat is designed around tactical awareness, positioning, coordination, and player skill instead of overwhelming technological advantages or artificial faction imbalance.

The battlefield decides what remains.

Your runs are conquests. Ashenmarch turns the real world into a map of contested ground โ€” every route you run or walk claims and defends territory, builds your noble house, and raises your standing in the realm. Lace up, close a loop through your neighborhood, and the land inside it becomes yours โ€” painted in your house colors, your blazon at its heart. Run it again to fortify. March out and back to raise walls. Cross into a rival's ground to lay siege. Every mile works for your house. CLAIM REAL-WORLD LAND Close a loop on the map and take the ground inside it. Outposts grow into citadels the more you march them. FOUND A NOBLE HOUSE Name your house, design your coat of arms, and watch your holdings, walls, and treasury grow. Rise through the ranks and take your place among the great houses. A LIVE WAR-MAP Run in-app with a live parchment war-map, distance and grip tracking, auto-pause, and a herald who announces your conquests as they happen. OR BRING YOUR OWN RUNS Already run with Strava? Connect it and your activities import automatically โ€” the same conquest logic applies. Apple Health and Garmin are welcome too. Strava is a data connection, not a login; disconnect any time. MEASURED AGAINST YOU Everything is judged against your own baseline. A beginner's personal best counts exactly as much as an elite athlete's โ€” beat your own mark and you're rewarded. It's never pay-to-win. WAGE WAR, WIN GLORY Lay siege to rivals, defend your borders, hire sellswords, plunder gold, uncover treasure, and join a court to hold whole provinces together. YOU CANNOT BE ELIMINATED There is no defeat screen and no losing your account. Your rank history and conquest milestones are permanent โ€” only the ground itself changes hands, and lost land can always be retaken. Every new player gets a 30-day free trial with full access. After that, membership is $7.99/month or $59.99/year through the App Store. The realm gathers on Discord โ€” find rivals, join a court, and shape the game during the beta. The map is being drawn now. Take your place.
