Skill and smart plays decides who comes out victorious. With several unique mechanics and an action packed art style, Batalj is a fresh addition to the strategic turn based genre. The title means "Combat" in Swedish, a nod to the Fall Damage founders' background in AAA First Person Shooters. With three factions, multiple heroes and units you can try out different combinations, discover synergies and explore strategies that fits your playstyle. Your custom-made squad consists of unique units with a wide range of versatile abilities that can change the tide of battle.

Batalj has a completely new take on simultaneous turns and brings new mechanics to the genre. Each round consists of a planning phase and an action phase where you schedule your squad’s actions and watch them execute your orders. Your ability to strategize, and outsmart your opponent will be crucial. Batalj will challenge you with its depth and fast gameplay.

Having extended its closed Beta by a whole month the development team has utilized the time to process crucial player feedback on units, squad combinations and different maps.

“We’ve been hard at work getting the game as polished and stable as we can. The team set out to deliver three factions, nine heroes and 54 units - and that’s what we’re doing. Ultimately giving players millions of squad variants to play around with and ‘break the meta’. We are super excited to announce that the release date for Batalj will be the 21st of February.” said Anders Gyllenberg, CEO at Fall Damage.
