Broken Arrow brings the genre to a whole new level by combining the complexity of a joint-forces wargame with the typical real-time tactics action-packed gameplay.

Build your army deck by choosing from over 300 different units. Part of the battle is won by planning well: create the right combination of unit types and weapons to defeat your enemy, and don’t forget to consider the terrain when you choose.

Deploy to the battlefield via land, sea and air. Use paratroopers and helicopters to rapidly seize key locations, reinforce them with heavy tanks and break enemy counter attacks with artillery and tactical missile strikes.

Infiltrate special forces behind enemy lines to disrupt enemy logistics and provide laser designation for your planes. Use the terrain to your advantage to ambush, out flank and outsmart your enemy.

Land with your amphibious troops in large industrial harbors, airdrop troops and vehicles to seize airports and air bases, fight in the middle of a large refinery or in entire cities filled with large apartment blocks, malls and high risers.

Broken Arrow’s large battlefields are based on actual places to reinforce their realism.

Publisher Slitherine and Developer Steel Balalaika recently announced that Broken Arrow will receive a digital Vanguard Edition, now available to pre-order on Steam.

The Vanguard Edition will launch on June 16th, offering players three days early unlock before the June 19th full launch. As well as gaining access to Broken Arrow in advance, players will also be treated to an abundance of digital goodies, such as a digital OST with 40 tracks, digital wallpapers, and unique vehicle skins only available exclusively with the Vanguard Edition. 

Prepping a PC ahead of a game launch is important, and below you can see the official PC specs from Slitherine, which have now been confirmed.

Broken Arrow features a wide range of units, that are split into six categories based on their characteristics: your army deck includes recon units, infantry, fighting vehicles, support units, logistical units, helicopters and airstrikes slots.

• RECON UNITS: includes infantry, vehicles and drones specialized in the task of spotting and marking the enemy position.
• INFANTRY: includes line infantry, shock troops, special forces, anti-tank teams, anti-aircraft teams.
• FIGHTING VEHICLES: includes tanks, ATGM carriers and fire support vehicles.
• SUPPORT: includes artillery and anti-aircraft vehicles that provide long range support on the battlefield.
• HELICOPTERS: includes multipurpose cavalry units best used far from the heatpoints.
• AIRSTRIKES: includes many different weapons, swarms of tactical missiles and airdrops of troops, vehicles and supplies.

Modern vehicles and aircraft are generally compatible with different weapons and armor packages; Broken Arrow features a detailed customisation system that allows you to modify the specific components of your units, either individually or as a loadout.

• Customize your aircraft by choosing weapons, fuel tanks, designation pods, countermeasure pods and decoys.
• Add armor or defensive systems to your vehicles and upgrade their weaponry and sensors.
• Special forces have access to a wide variety of equipment for you to choose: add suppressors, thermal optics, reconnaissance drones, explosive charges and much more.

The scenario editor used to create the missions of the campaign will be available to the community to create their own scenarios and share them on Steam workshop.

It includes a visual scripting tool allowing you to create complete scenarios with cutscenes and dialogue without ever writing a single line of code.

Broken Arrow is coming to PC (Steam) in June 19, 2025.
