Battle Aces depicts the future of warfare. 

Battle Aces depicts the future of warfare in the 26th century as humanity experiences strife amongst the planets in a desperate struggle for limited space and resources. High-tech drones controlled by mercenary commanders, or Battle Aces, fight explosive, large-scale battles in the front lines of this war.

Battle Aces immediately sets itself apart from traditional RTS games, by allowing players to choose their army composition and customize their play style through Unit Decks. With over 50 units to choose from at launch and more than 40 to be made available to play in the upcoming closed beta test, Battle Aces offers an immense variety of potential in-game matchups, and near-limitless strategic potential that begins before a match even starts.

Developer Uncapped Games announced that a new phase of betatesting for Battle Aces has begun for interested players across the globe!

“One of the most important parts of game development is collecting and analyzing new player feedback,” said David Kim, senior game director of Uncapped Games. “Beta tests like the one we’re running now for Battle Aces are not only important for us as game developers, but rewarding for players as their input helps to shape games,especially when we can hear that feedback early on in the developmentprocess. We invite all players to play Battle Aces, and giveus feedback to help achieve the vision of making the most funstrategy game for everyone.”

In-game, Battle Aces delivers a combination of design innovations such as automated resource gathering, instant unit-spawning, and preset expansions that keep players focused on the fun of controlling and maneuvering massive armies in battle, even as they manage the moment-to-moment strategic decision making of when to expand to new bases, and when to tech for more powerful units. User interface innovations allow players to quickly swap between unit production and army control on-the-fly, without the need to look at home base or manage production facilities. The combination of design and UI elements makes it easier than ever to build and reinforce armies, and keep attention on managing the intense battles that are concentrated in each of Battle Aces' 1v1 or 2v2 matches.

With matches limited to 10 minutes, players can easily complete a series of satisfying battles even over a short amount of time, with the ability to swap Unit Decks to adjust strategy and play style in between each match. With the innovative control options available, Battle Aces is a strategy game that MOBA players and strategy game curious players can all enjoy together, including old school genre stalwarts looking for the next frontier of RTS with high skill expression.

Battle Aces is in development for PC (Steam).
