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 the next public beta test of Battle Aces will begin on April 16, 2024 in North America and Latin America (April 17 in European and Asian territories).

Participants in previous testing phases will be invited automatically, while new players can sign up for the beta at the official website. Players in this beta phase can even earn exclusive cosmetic items that they can keep through open beta and launch!

Battle Aces received high praise from both gaming press and influencers since its announcement last June. The game offers the best of the strategy genre, combining the natural interface of MOBA games, the meta strategic elements of deck building games, and the fast-paced intensity of real-time strategy (RTS) games. Bold design choices like instant unit spawning, automated resource gathering, and streamlined base building allow players to stay focused on the fun of outwitting opponents and controlling massive armies across the battlefield.

New features coming to Battle Aces in this phase of beta testing will include:

• New exciting units open fresh strategies to dominate the battlefield
• Daily login rewards for cosmetic items incentivize players to play every day, and show their personal style
• Updated Battle Pass and Proving Grounds – progression has been improved and streamlined to deliver satisfying rewards and get players into the game even quicker
• Improved quality-of-life features, including in-client unit stats, improved map art, and in-game UI improvements like unit counter lists and unit deck recommendations that make getting into Battle Aces easier than ever
• More unlockable cosmetics, including custom skins for core bases, resource bases, avatars, emotes, sprays, fatalities, and army paints

With matches limited to 10 minutes, players can easily complete a series of satisfying battles in a brief period of time. Players have the flexibility to choose their style of play, building out their unit decks from nearly 50 unique units, each with different strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities. Adjusting strategy and play style is just a matter of swapping unit decks in between games.

“We expect this beta test to be our biggest and best one yet,” said David Kim, senior game director of Uncapped Games. “Fans who’ve played previous tests have given us great feedback, and we’ve incorporated tons of improvements to make Battle Aces even quicker to dive into, while expanding upon the depth and replayability. UI improvements will give players even more information to build their ideal unit decks, and strategize inside and outside the game.”

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).
