Developed by Steel Balalaika and published by Slitherine, Broken Arrow is a modern-day warfare strategy game that pits contemporary American and Russian armies against each other on NATO’s frontiers. It’s a large-scale real-time tactical game that combines a unique army-building system, deep unit customization, and over 200 realistic units. Broken Arrow‘s release date currently remains TBA.
Before each battle, players will build their army deck with slots for recon, infantry, fighting vehicles, support, logistics, helicopters, and airstrikes. Those slotting decisions need to consider both the terrain and your enemy’s likely force composition. You’ll also be able to customize your units with loadouts like extra fuel pods, slapped armor, or gear that will boost their combat effectiveness. You can even outfit special forces with their own weapons and equipment.
