About Shadows of War

Shadows of War is a 2D Real-Time Strategy sidescroller game.
The game combines classical RTS elements with new ideas into a 2D game.
Fight in massive battlefields against your worst foe!
Challenge your friends in a 1v1 battle, show them who is in control.
Some maps also have unique elements, that requires you to change your tactics. The bigger the map, the harder it will be. You always need to have an eye on every section of the map. Be fast to take counter measures of the enemy's attacks!
The game also offers the Hardcore mode, for old-school gamers that needs a challenge.
You are low on money, which means you can order less units onto the battlefield.
Support strikes will be rarely used, since they're costing too much.
Keep track of your tickets, you can't lose a single one!
You really need to do everything to prevent the enemy from marching into your land.
Always do your best! Else, loosing can't be prevented.
Remember the good old days, where games hadn't got any XP system?
You only played for fun, not for unlocks or that stuff? Like that?
Then SoW is the perfect game for you, no DLC, no XP, no Micro-Transactions.
1944, a German Science project, was sealed and hidden.
It was never meant to be found. But in 2013, a new Federal Chancellor was elected.
Then, old research projects were activated again, this is where everything began...
One of the projects, were a bomb, not a casual one.
They built the bomb after the blueprints they've found.
Then they tested it, the bomb detonated successfully, with a devastating effect.
A world was left, that were pushed into the shadows, no hope, no life as it is known.
Nations in despair, began to wage war. The world, at the brink of total destruction.
Now we are here. No alliances, all fighting for survival.
Russia, now facing Germany again, on the battlefields of Europe.

Shadows of War, developed and published by TRI.G, is an experimental real-time strategy title that attempts to merge traditional RTS concepts with a side-scrolling 2D battlefield perspective. Rather than following the familiar top-down approach of most strategy games, it constrains action to horizontal lanes, forcing players to rethink unit placement, timing, and resource management within a more limited but continuous front line. This design choice immediately sets the game apart, giving it a distinct identity that feels closer to a tactical tug-of-war than a sprawling battlefield simulation. The game’s setting leans into a bleak, fictionalized vision of global conflict triggered by the discovery of a dangerous scientific project. While the narrative is not heavily foregrounded through cutscenes or dialogue, it provides a grim backdrop that frames each battle as part of a larger struggle for survival. The focus remains firmly on gameplay rather than storytelling, with the atmosphere communicated through environments, unit designs, and the relentless pace of warfare rather than explicit narrative exposition. Gameplay revolves around deploying and managing different unit types acr…

An absolute buggy mess of a game. You can't even pause it correctly. Trying to pause will have the audio freak out, and you'll be stuck in an infinite loop of it asking if you want to go back to the main menu. All while your troops are floating in the air, for some reason.
