Uncapped Games has unveiled Battle Aces, a new action real-time strategy (RTS) game for PC that promises to bring the core fun of RTS games to a wider audience. The announcement was made at the Summer Game Fest 2024, where Uncapped Games showcased a trailer and highlighted the game’s design, which is easy to learn yet difficult to master for players of all levels.
Set in the 26th century, Battle Aces portrays a future where humanity is embroiled in a fierce conflict over limited space and resources among planets. Players take on the role of mercenary commanders controlling high-tech drones in explosive battles on the front lines of this war.
What sets Battle Aces apart from traditional RTS games is its emphasis on player choice and customization through Unit Decks. With over 50 units available at launch and more to come in the closed beta test, players have a wide array of options for in-game matchups and strategic decisions.
The game features innovative design elements such as automated resource gathering and instant unit-spawning, allowing players to focus on the thrill of commanding massive armies in battle. With matches limited to 10 minutes, players can enjoy quick, intense battles and adjust their strategies on the fly.
David Kim, senior game director at Uncapped Games, expressed excitement about Battle Aces, stating that players of all skill levels can experience the thrill of commanding armies in every match. The company invites players to sign up for the closed beta and try out the game for themselves at www.playbattleaces.com. With its accessible gameplay and strategic depth, Battle Aces aims to appeal to both RTS veterans and newcomers alike.
