Battalion Commander 1917 is an intense, top-down action shooter set in the brutal trenches and battlefields of World War I. You play as a fearless officer tasked with leading a small squad behind enemy lines to break through heavily fortified defenses and complete daring missions. Starting with just a sidearm, you’ll rescue allied soldiers along the way—riflemen, machine gunners, medics—who automatically join your formation and boost your firepower and survivability.
The game offers fast-paced, satisfying combat as you dodge bullets, destroy enemy bunkers, and take on waves of infantry and armored vehicles. Strategic upgrades let you improve your squad, unlock powerful weapons, call in airstrikes, or deploy devastating artillery barrages to turn the tide of battle. With atmospheric visuals inspired by the muddy, perilous landscapes of WWI and relentless enemy forces determined to stop you, Battalion Commander 1917 delivers a gripping blend of arcade shooting and tactical squad management. Only the bravest and smartest commanders will survive the carnage and complete their mission.
