Opposing Sides

Opposing Sides: Alien Standoff

Command your forces in a tense, turn-based tactical standoff against a rival commander. Deploy your squad across a shattered battlefield, roll for movement, outmaneuver the enemy, and fight for control of the field — one calculated move at a time.

Choose your side and nation, then face off in intense infantry duels amid the wreckage of war. Every decision counts: use cover, exploit terrain, and time your advances carefully, because a single reckless move can turn the tide against you.

Play through the full campaign across 8 escalating missions, or jump straight into Free Play for a customizable head-to-head battle. Track your progress, unlock veteran status, and take command of dynamic battlefields — from urban warzones to fog-choked ruins to rain-soaked jungle.

• Full 8-mission campaign with progression and unlockable rewards

How to Play

 Choose your sides. Pick your nation and role — Attacker or Defender — then start the battle. Roll for movement. Each turn, click "Roll for Movement" to determine how far your units can move. Move your units. Select a unit, then move it across the battlefield using your rolled movement points. Terrain affects positioning and strategy, so use cover and high ground wisely. Engage the enemy. Move a unit into range of an opposing unit to trigger a duel. Combat outcomes are resolved automatically — the stronger position and unit type improve your odds. End your turn. Once you're out of moves (or choose to stop early), end your turn and let your opponent respond. Use the General View. Open the General View for a full tactical overview of the battlefield, complete with battle analysis and orders to help plan your next move. Watch the environment. Some battlefields include dynamic fog or rain that can affect visibility and shooting range — use the gear menu to toggle effects and adapt your strategy. Win the battle. Eliminate all enemy units to claim victory. Win missions in Campaign mode to progress and unlock new content, or battle it out endlessly in Free Play.
