About This Game The hit turn-based strategy game has landed on Steam! #1 strategy game in the app store in 46 countries.Approachable, absorbing, detailed and yet visually impressive, Battle Academy aims to revolutionize the strategy games market with a blend of intuitive design and compelling gameplay. This quick-paced easy-to-learn strategy title boasts an impressive number of unit types and different missions and delivers endless replay value because of cleverly designed online multiplayer system, built in scenario editor and a host of user mods and scenarios. Battle Academy is an action-packed tactical strategy game where you have to take command of a select group of units and lead them through battles on the many different fronts of World War II. As a commander, you will have to employ real world combined-arms tactics in order to secure victory. This means you will have to lay ambushes to surprise opposing forces, use suppressing fire to pin them, flank hostile armor for maximum effect and, if necessary, assaults the enemy to clear strong points. In some cases you will also have access to powerful off map artillery and air support with the capacity to weaken the enemy defenses or even stop an enemy attack dead in its tracks. At the same time you will have to play close attention to the morale of your own troops and use recon units to spot any hostile ambushes or flanking attacks. To achieve this, Battle Academy offers a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to control your troops and at the same time makes sure you will never lose sight of the battle. This means that you will be focused on what really matters; your mission objectives, battle tactics and unit positioning. The game engine is also completely script-driven and therefore easy to mod, allowing players to create their own missions and scenario and even complete game overhauls in a simple and effective way.MultiplayerSlitherine’s revolutionary server-based PBEM++ system completes the package, for a gaming experience that will certainly please both hard core wargamers and newcomers.

I was really surprised. If you like turn-based strategies, you should try it.Companies included into basic bundles are quite long, so after 18 ours I just finished 1st and started second.. Not much diffrence between this and BA2,I bought the 2nd one first.The Graphics are the Only negative function here,if you can call it that.Get past the GFX by zooming far out use Top Down view.Close Combat players will like this view:).Its cheap,for me in sale £7.99 on Bundlestars...Thats why i didnt mind purchasing the first one the next day also in same sale.Cant go wrong when you purchase these titles like this.Anyways if your a TBS player too then youll also be used to looking past the GFX for the Gameplay which is here in abundance so....time to make your mind up.. It's not a bad game, but it's also not great. It's more a jack-of-all-trades that does a bunch of things okay, but not much exceedingly well.Unless you're playing on the easiest level, there's a lot of trial and error as far as what tactics will work best. There's also a lot of randomness involved with hitting enemy units (and them hitting you). This last thing is very frustrating, as I've seen infantry units take out heavy tanks while not being hurt themselves. Graphics are decent, but also pretty grainy and pixelated.If you're a fan of World War 2 games and you're looking for another one to play, or you enjoy turn-based strategy games, then this will probably suit you well. If you don't care for WW2 titles or you want faster paced action than a turn-based game, it's probably not going to be worth it for you.. Two things right off the bat. 1) The game is Awesome ! and 2) The tutorial is Absolutely Horrible.Yes, no typos there, but lemme take a moment to elaborate. Let's get the tutorial out of the way.Okay, so the tutorial's out of the way. No, I'm really not kiddin', there's almost zilch, zero nada in the tutorial, and it's set up in a very odd way, with lotsa buttons to attempt to click that do nothing and no helpful guide to any advanced strategies or tactics. I'm sure there are probably some very helpful guides out there for all those things, but they are definitely NOT in the tutorial.At any rate, I found I could and did learn all I needed to know by going selecting the first campaign at the top and just plunging into the game headfirst. There was quite a bit of trial-and-error initially, and the game doesn't give you a lot of 'prestige-type-purchasing-power' like you may be used to in games like Panzer General or Panzer Corps. In fact, once you're in a battle, there's NO accrual of prestige or ability to purchase new units, etc. You only get options to do that at the start of the missions, but before you throw in the towel on that being a horrible idea, I'll explain.You'll get a select # of units that are coming on each mission w/o fail and at no cost. You'll also have a limited amount of purchasing power to add key beneficial units as you see fit, and there are also limitations on just how many of each of those useful units are available as well. Part of the real challenge in this game is making sacrifices on what you'd RATHER have and what you can AFFORD to have ... these aren't always the same thing. Example: I'd RATHER have 2 25pdr arty units, and there are 2 available, but I need to have another Sherman Tank instead, or I need another engineering unit and a transport, etc. You'll quickly start to learn to 'make do' and discover just how much use you can milk out of units you might otherwise completely disregard.It gets better. The first few missions are pretty easy-breezy. Then it starts to get tougher. Then it starts to get A LOT tougher ! At that point, you'll start to think 'there isn't any way I can complete this mission given what I have at my disposal !' And about the time you think that, reinforcements will start to show up ! I found the pacing of my need for more units vs the actual arrival of new units to be almost hand-to-glove in the first campaign.There are a lot of things to learn, tactically, that will improve your odds of winning. You'll pick a lot of these up as you play. Or you can probably track down a guide to learn more about them. I'm probably running outta room on this review! Best of luck if you get the game, and Happy Hunting!. Hopefully this trend of making limited games for mobiles and then converting them to PC is not the future.. This is a great little game. It is one of those games that finally allowed me an access point to all those RTS titles I have in my Steam library. At last a game that teaches you strategy while steadily amping up the difficulty level. The graphics are surprisingly detailed yet fun at the same time. There is a huge variety of missions especially if you get the complete pack. There is enough complexity to also keep more experienced wargamers interested. I was really surprised at how good this game is. My only negative would be the rather steep price especially for the complete game, given the fact that for all intents and purposes it is a souped up Ipad port. However it is done really well and if you are willing to shell out you won't be disappointed and are in for hours of replayable fun!. Took me a very long time to realize that this comes pretty close to the old Steel Panthers games.Steel Panthers used to be my favorite game - in the latter nineties - and I've missed that gameplay a lot, until..Battle Academy looks different, but the basic gameplay is pretty much the same, especially if you choose the top view.The in game graphics are ok, far better than the majority of rehash wargames, but far from cutting edge. The gui is ancient. However the game play is great, and although Battle Academy is easy to learn and enjoy, it has enough challenge to cater for more hard core wargamers. Note, the game is not about realism, however the tactical gameplay is fun.Unfortunately BA doesn't come with a skirmish mode, but the core game and dlc offer plenty of play time.Battle Academy 2 is even better, with its fine tuning, Eastern Front armored clashes and a skirmish mode which ensures replayability.Nevertheless I can highly recommend the original Battle Academy, but be sure to get the full collection as it saves you a lot of money.. great game for the older generation who enjoyed close combat and panzer general loved the game .. Easy to learn game with a suprising amount of depth. Two thumbs up.
