In celebration of RTS Fest, we are excited to give you a preview of Platoon Commander, a game currently in the early stages of development.
Your feedback on the demo will be crucial in helping us improve and refine the game.
Platoon Commander is a Real-Time Wargame focused on the German advance toward Moscow in the fall and winter of 1941. It combines real-time tactical battles with a turn-based campaign map. You can make decisions about the pace of the advance, switch to defensive strategies when necessary, and manage your army, considering weather conditions and the passing of time.
What’s included in the demo
The demo offers a significant experience of Platoon Commander’s first mission, where players step into the role of a German Commander during the autumn of 1941. Tasked with capturing and holding a Soviet village, players will customize their platoons by choosing a mix of infantry, armor, and artillery to defend against the inevitable Soviet counterattack.
You can access it by visiting the Platoon Commander Steam page and clicking on the "Download" button.
The demo will be available for one week, so don’t miss your chance to experience this World War II RTS. Click here to read first tutorial of the demo.
