Following a successful demo launch at Steam Next Fest, new RTS Line War is coming to Steam on May 5! From Swedish development team Studio Centurion, Line War is an innovative multiplayer Real-Time Strategy game that allows you to design and execute commands by drawing your battle plan, rather than clicking on individual units.
Since the demo launch, new features have been implemented to improve performance and mechanics. Line War will be available on May 5 at 9am PST/12pm EST on Steam for $14.99.
Line War is a multiplayer RTS game and a mashup of beloved genres in the strategy sphere including 4x, real time tactics, wargames, and autobattlers. While the demo of Line War gave players a taste of the experience, new features will be available in the 1.0 launch including the highly anticipated addition of skill-based matchmaking and localization. For players looking for a solo experience, Line War also features a sandbox mode where you can practice strategies and play against yourself.
Line War’s unique approach to the strategy genre comes from its versatile control system, which allows players to quickly and intuitively issue commands by drawing lines across the battlefield. Move units, form defensive lines, engage enemies and conquer territories all with just a few clicks. Watch your commands take effect in real time while you move on to the next maneuver. Configure your command lines to filter out certain units to flank your enemies, dig-in or feed distant frontlines.
Territory expansion is key to success in Line War. Players need to build structures to amass reserves of the game’s key resources, energy and capital. Choosing where to deploy buildings and the units they create is paramount to defending key locations and limiting the enemy’s expansion. With limited micromanagement required, Line War ensures players are free to focus on planning and executing a strategy through the use of its streamlined command system.
