The battle begins! After almost two years in Early Access, turn-based, platoon-level tactical game The Troop launches today. Developed by Giant Flame and published by PLA Studios, The Troop was born from a lifelong passion for World War II history and turn-based games is now available on PC via Steam.
The Troop is rolling out of its Early Access period with a new arsenal of features, including three new campaigns for players to experience – following the adventures of the 21st Panzer Division, the SS Panzer Division and the 31st Tank Brigade.
The game has attracted a dedicated following among its fans, who have been instrumental to the development of the game. In fact, the fans have been so crucial to the development of The Troop that some of the powerful in-game ace units are named after the game’s most dedicated supporters.
The Troop embraces the best traditions of classic tabletop war gaming combined with the interactivity and excitement the digital format affords. You have complete control over your units’ actions; tanks will not expose their weak side armour with unexpected pathing, hidden guns will not reveal their positions by firing prematurely, infantry will not flee inexplicably when victory is a few heroic paces away. You are free to take your time… but any mistakes are yours and yours alone!
Tom Page, Studio Director, PLA Studios, said:
“It’s great to be able to bring the complete feature set and all 4 campaigns to players. We feel like they really show the game at its best and build upon everything the community has helped us shape over the past 2 years.”
