Description

Firefight is a World War II real-time simulation game with more AI and attention to detail than any other game in its genre to date. Tanks are modelled with a physics engine and have gears, rev counters and speedos, and steer themselves with brake levers to give them realistic looking tracked vehicle movement. Each bullet, shell or piece of shrapnel is modelled in 3D and ricochets realistically off sloping surfaces. You can see each infantryman's rank, name, weapon, ammunition remaining, heart rate and fatigue levels. Machine gunners will call for ammunition when they're running low and other squad members will rush over with spare ammo if they are carrying any. Wounded men call for medics who will sprint over to administer first aid. Off-board artillery can be called in but will have to fire several ranging shots before the full 8 gun battery opens fire simultaneously.

Play either against the sophisticated built-in AI, or play a local network game against a friend using WiFi or Bluetooth.

Work of love

I have been with this game since early 2016. It may appear like a simple top down strategy, but a layer of sophistication like no other mobile game lies beneath the surface. A kill cam showing the name and rank of a soldier that has been hit, the location of his injury, the severity of the wound and what exactly hit him. A system monitoring heart rate and ammo, and a gear system on the tanks. As well as and AI that responds to every counter thrust, flanking manoeuvre, artillery bombardment and suppressive barrage. Do yourself a favour and download it.

Best RTS I’ve seen

I like this game, probably the best RTS I’ve seen on mobile. Although there are some things I would like. I hope to see aircraft that you can call in, larger maps (this is ambiguous but maybe a province of a country or the whole country), supply vehicles and maybe even ships. Again I like this game a lot, just needs a bit more content.

Nice

Great game, love the addition of the custom battle option. It would be nice though if you can set a preference for what the AI would pick, right now they just purchase a whole lot of Tanks and it becomes annoying quite fast.
