Headquarters: World War II is a fast paced turn-based strategy covering the Battle of Normandy in the three plot-driven campaigns and a number of skirmishes. Choose your side, form your force, assign heroes, level up your units, and use Headquarters skills to overcome the enemy.
The game's combat system is based on an easy to learn - hard to master approach. Deceptively easy at a first glance, it offers lots of possibilities:
Units have front/side/back/top armor and their positioning matters a lot
Fences and other obstacles offer a directional cover that depends on the angle of attack
Different terrain types offer various bonuses and affect Line of Sight
Destroyed vehicles and other large objects affect the battlefield and provide cover
High Ground mechanics allow multiple levels of terrain elevation that affect Line of Sight and combat effectiveness
Destructible buildings with different stages of demolition create unique challenges
All units and scenery are created with the finest attention to detail using Unreal Engine 4 to achieve a very realistic visual style:
Realistic unit models with proper physics in place
Visceral elements of devastation - burning tank hulks, ruined houses, shell craters, smoke, death, and destruction. You will witness this and many other horrors of the war
Varied surroundings - your troops will come across war-torn battlefields as well as peaceful villages with cattle and fields of grain. Mind your tanks - this quaint beauty is quite fragile
See all sides of the story by completing 3 campaigns with 9 operations in each.
The game features United States, United Kingdom, and German campaigns all set in the Normandy landings period of the war.
Between the battles, you can upgrade or change your units, level them up, and assign heroes to them, granting unique abilities
Every unit has a crew - and the crew is the heart of any unit. Losing different crew members results in different penalties for the unit. Losing a gunner means the unit has fewer attacks, losing a driver means the unit has reduced mobility, and so on.
Test your skills against an AI on each of the 6 skirmish maps. Different victory conditions require versatility in your planning and tactics.
Play skirmish battles against real opponents or 2x2 team battles with friends. The game supports multiplayer battles with up to 4 players both with real-time connection or using Slitherine’s CombatHQ system.
