DOOMSDAY BATTLE

Choose a faction. Read the front. Fight the operation. Change the war.

Doomsday Battle is a hybrid strategy and action game where a living regional conflict determines the battles you fight.

Command the war from a strategic map, study the current frontline, and personally enter ground, armored, naval, or air operations. Your performance returns to the campaign: victories build momentum, defeats increase pressure, and coordinated success across different combat fronts can change the direction of the war.

The project combines a real-time strategic simulation with distinct playable battle modes rather than separating them into unrelated minigames.

The war is always moving

Regions contain capitals, troops, factories, barracks, laboratories, coastlines, rivers, and strategic routes. As invasions develop, the Frontline Operations Director studies the conflict and recommends the response most likely to help.

You are never forced to follow that recommendation.

Choose the operation you believe matters most:

Ground Operations

Deploy troops into large battlefield engagements.

Break enemy formations, preserve your surviving force, reinforce the line, and prevent important regions from collapsing.

Armored Operations

Enter direct vehicle combat against randomized hostile machines, armored waves, and command units.

Destroy enemy vehicles before your own machine is overwhelmed.

Naval Operations

Fight across contested waters in surface and submarine engagements.

Hunt hostile vessels, protect your hull, and disrupt enemy supply routes.

Air Operations

Take direct control of an aircraft and intercept advanced airborne threats.

Destroy hostile aircraft, defend the frontline, and suppress enemy facilities from above.

Every mission affects the campaign

Combat results are measured by what you actually accomplish—not merely by entering a mode and waiting.

Missions record:

  • Objective progress
  • Enemy losses
  • Friendly survival
  • Player condition
  • Mission score
  • Performance grade
  • Strategic support earned
  • Resulting campaign effect

Empty withdrawals provide no free progress.

Exceptional victories can create stronger territorial effects, while poor performance or defeat can push your faction toward collapse.

War Momentum

Your campaign maintains a persistent War Momentum state:

BREAKTHROUGH ADVANCING CONTESTED UNDER PRESSURE COLLAPSING

Momentum changes after each operation and influences how the frontline is presented.

A successful campaign requires more than repeatedly fighting the same battle type.

Win operations across three different fronts to complete a Combined Arms chain, earning additional support and resources for your faction.

Five connected game modes

  • Dynamic strategic war map
