The success of Broken Arrow precedes its release, with highly successful pre-launch beta tests and over half a million players already registered and ready for battle. The game has accumulated more than 380,000 hours watched on Twitch, 7,000 hours streamed, one million wishlists, and has held a long-standing spot in Steam’s Top 30 Most Wishlisted games. It also recently entered the Top 50 Global Best-Selling games on Steam — all before its official launch.
To add to the excitement, the Vanguard Edition launched on June 16th and has sold over 150K units so far, and has over 1M wishlists.
That's because Broken Arrow plays by different rules.
In fact, in many real-time strategy games, victory often comes down to brute force. Players typically focus on mass-producing units, launching quick assaults, and hoping to overpower the enemy, with little room for genuine tactics or thoughtful planning. It's all about speed and sheer numbers.
In Broken Arrow, victory isn’t about mindless mass production. It’s about strategy, timing, and precision. Players must read the battlefield, identify the best routes to outflank enemy positions, probe for weaknesses, and craft a winning plan tailored to the moment.
Every unit plays its part. Every move echoes with intent. Only those who can command the tempo of real-time warfare will lead their forces to victory.
Like maestros guiding a grand orchestra, players must harmonize the battlefield’s many voices: the thundering artillery as pounding percussion, armored divisions roaring like trumpets and horns, elite scouts moving as silently as flutes.
With 10 distinct military specializations and over 300 units to choose from, each battle becomes a performance: from the 19-mission single-player campaign to the competitive, high-stakes 5v5 online clashes.
In Broken Arrow, you’re not just leading units en masse in real time — you’re directing a symphony of sharp tactics and precision strategy.
What is Broken Arrow?
Designed for newcomers to the genre and RTS experts alike, Broken Arrow will feature large-scale real-time modern warfare tactics in both a single-player campaign and intense multiplayer 5v5 PvP battles, all of which are set within the Baltic region. With a unique army-building system, deep unit customization tools at the player's disposal on launch, and 300+ realistic military units, the options are endless, and replayability is guaranteed.
Developer Steel Balalaika and Publisher Slitherine have both been working diligently on the game since 2021, with community feedback playing a crucial role in shaping a dynamic experience and enhancing the overall player experience.
Broken Arrow has already received glowing comments and recommendations from notable gaming outlets, stated as being potentially ‘the greatest RTS of 2025’, and ‘the game that grabs non-RTS fans all thanks to its responsive movements and orders’. Players can compose advances as complex and masterful as a symphony, commanding units in perfect harmony to conquer the enemy and secure victory. This is just the beginning for Broken Arrow, as the game is also slated to receive regular updates and additions post-launch.
