Command a squad through enemy territory in a physics-based RTT game, relying on rifles, grenades, and stealth. Tanks, artillery, machine-guns, warplanes, and full levels are not included, but this demo lets you experiment with squad management and tactical decision-making to master infantry combat.

<h2 class="bb_tag" style="text-align: center">MISSION BRIEFING &quot;Gorge of Deliverance&quot;</h2>Infiltrate an enemy enclave hidden deep within the rugged canyons, where your squadmates are held captive. Reach the POW cage, free them, and scavenge weapons from the enemy camp to arm your team. Rally your squad and fight through enemy lines, dodging patrols and gunfire as you secure your escape. Choose your battles carefully - cross the eastern train tracks to safety - and bring your team home. <img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4070630/extras/368a0d674327cb357b93b90e62af988e.avif?t=1760331415" width=1560 height=523 /><h2 class="bb_tag" style="text-align: center">SCOPE OF THIS DEMO</h2>This is an infantry-focused slice of SHELLSTORM: The Great War in early alpha.

It brings mechanics usually reserved for cover shooters, military simulations, and stealth games to RTS scale, pushing the boundaries of mechanical intricacy in the genre.  SHELLSTORM leans into deep simulation rather than superficial abstraction. The result is a complex, interwoven possibility space that rewards patience, careful observation, and freedom of choice, while realistic environmental and destructible systems create unique and memorable gameplay moments. <h2 class="bb_tag" >Dynamic, Detailed Environmental Destruction </h2>We don't just mean breakable buildings or props.
