Shadows Of War 2

Shadows of War 2 is a side-scrolling real-time strategy game about modern conflicts, where timing, tactical choices and battlefield destruction shape each match. Choose from four armies and five commanders, then deploy units and support strikes while managing the costs of your forces and abilities. Fight across six modes, from flag control and base destruction to survival against waves. Weather can affect movement and attacks, while destructible terrain lets combat reshape the battlefield. Play on handcrafted or procedurally generated maps, or create your own with the map editor.
