Steel Tide is a real-time strategy game with large-scale battles. Raise a base, run an economy, and take the field with tanks, artillery, helicopters, jets and a fleet. Every unit has an armour class it is good against, so a mixed force beats the biggest gun. Artillery fires over ridges; point-defence towers shoot the rockets down. Transports put armour where the roads do not go. Crews that survive get better. When nothing else settles it, there is the silo. Play alone or together: • Conquest & Breakthrough against three grades of AI on generated or authored maps • Up to 8 seats in any mix of players and AI, in teams or free-for-all • Cross-platform PvP: phone, tablet, desktop and browser play on the same servers • Host your own server with one command and keep your games in your own hands • A scenario editor: paint the ground, place the spawns and the ore, play or share it • Modding system to customize units & buildings No ads or in-app purchases. Single player works offline.
