Steel Platoon

Steel Platoon is a real-time strategy game with RPG elements set during the Battle of Moscow in 1941. Take command of a Red Army lieutenant and lead your forces from the desperate retreat near Kaluga to the counteroffensive that culminated in the liberation of the city. Across a 15-mission branching campaign connected by a global map, every battle is part of a larger struggle, with optional objectives, meaningful choices, multiple paths and story outcomes that encourage replayability.

Command infantry, tanks, artillery and support units in intense combined-arms engagements. Use terrain, cover, smoke, maneuver, stealth, deception or overwhelming force to achieve your objectives. Buildings collapse under sustained fire, reshaping battlefields and creating new tactical opportunities, while urban fighting and defensive positions ensure that no engagement unfolds exactly the same way twice.
Steel Platoon replaces traditional vehicle health bars with a component-based damage model. Tracks can be destroyed, guns disabled and crews forced to abandon damaged vehicles. Units degrade before they are destroyed, creating unpredictable battles where adaptation is essential.

Your forces are not expendable. Infantry squads and vehicle crews persist between missions, gaining experience, improving their abilities and carrying the scars of previous engagements. Transfer veteran crews between vehicles, recover abandoned equipment and preserve your most valuable assets as the war unfolds. Customize squads and vehicles with specialized weapons, abilities, improved armor, guns and modules to build a battle group suited to your tactics and doctrine.

Test your army in offline Skirmish or multiplayer, with 1v1 and 2v2 battles across Domination, Assault, and Capture & Hold. Capture and defend multiple zones, attack fortified positions or fight to seize a single objective. Conquest Mode adds a strategic layer between battles: move forces across enemy’s territories, secure key locations, manage limited resources and decide where to commit your army. Victories, losses, casualties, damaged units, captured territory and recovered equipment shape the battles that follow as you fight to control the theater.
Command historically inspired Red Army and Wehrmacht forces equipped with period weapons, vehicles and uniforms. Experience asymmetric doctrine-based warfare as Soviet resilience and massed firepower clash with elite German formations and technological superiority.
