Victory Command is a free-to-play RTS that pits you and four of your friends against five enemies in tactical combat.

Victory Command is a fast-action Military MOBA that expands the competitive battlefield with RTS controls and tactics, offering an open field battle arena that gives you the chance to engage opponents with large scale strategies such as flanking, ambushing and trapping. Use armored combat units and engage in team vs team combat, commanding multiple units. Choose from a full arsenal of armored units and join your team to dominate the other side. If you love the cooperation and competition of battle arena games with additional ways to surprise and destroy the enemy, check out Victory Command.

Teamwork is key in this 5v5 arena. Coordinate with your other commanders to out-gun, out-maneuver, and out-play your rivals. Form your company of units and join a team vs team battle for online supremacy.

Hone your skills to outgun and outmaneuver an enemy team of mercenaries as ruthless as your own!

We love battle arena games. We love Dota2 and World of Tanks and League and we love team v team competition. We also love RTS games. What we really wanted, however, didn’t exist. We wanted a battle arena game with RTS controls and tactics - not a player vs player Starcraft-style game, but a real team vs team battle arena featuring all the challenges, tactics, strategies and skills required by RTS gameplay.

We’ve known and worked with the Petroglyph team since they were Westwood, and 18 months ago we teamed up with them to make Victory Command. Our shared goal is bold and inspiring - to make the next great globally successful battle arena game with millions of players battling in pick-up games, leagues, and tournaments every day. That is the vision, but the reality is that first we need to make a great core game - start with a few Companies and units and maps and play and iterate until it is awesome. Don’t add any extra stuff until we get that right. We think we have gotten this part pretty solid and pretty fun, but we also think we are not done yet.

That is why we are on Early Access - and we are dedicated to the spirit and purpose of Early Access. We have a very solid, playable, and what we think is really fun and challenging core game, but we now need real players playing all the time and giving real and honest feedback. We think Early Access was created for games like Victory Command. We are independently produced and developed and we have a really solid core game, but we need the involvement and support of players who want to be a part of getting a game from beta to live and to be a part of the process of making a game better over time. We need the support of a core community, and we promise we will do everything in our power to listen to and improve from the feedback from that community.

We are launching on Early Access today, and this is the biggest step yet on our path to making the game that we have always wanted to play...and we hope you will want to play it too.

Thanks,

Chris McKibbin (Co-founder, PlayGrid Games)
