War Commander brings classic real-time strategy game play to a new generation of Facebook gamers
KIXEYE, the leading developer of innovative social strategy games, is pleased to announce the launch of the War Commander public beta for Facebook. Available today, War Commander marks an evolutionary leap forward for the social gaming industry, enabling Facebook gamers around the world to engage in fully controllable real-time warfare.
Featuring over 27 fully customizable units, persistent territorial combat, and real-time unit control, War Commander is the most advanced strategy game ever created for an online platform.
Set in the war-torn future, War Commander immerses players in a world where national governments have collapsed and chaos reigns. Humanity is divided into small, warring factions that battle for control of Earth's remaining resources. In order to survive, players must build and defend bases, form alliances, and strategically destroy their enemies.
Combining classic real-time strategy gameplay with the competitive accessibility offered by social gaming, War Commander aims to bring a new audience of hardcore competitive gamers to the Facebook platform.
"With War Commander, we aimed to create a title that pushes the envelope of what is possible on the platform. We've combined classic RTS action with the global scalability and accessibility offered by Facebook, creating a unique experience that both core and new gamers will enjoy," said David Scott, Executive Producer.
"I'm proud that our team can continue to deliver compelling games in a landscape where innovation is lacking," said Will Harbin, CEO for KIXEYE "and we will continue to set the bar for the competition and focus on what matters: delighting users."
