About RTS Outpost
RTS Outpost is a real-time strategy game in the spirit of the classic base-builders. You start with a small base, harvest credits, keep your power grid running and build up an army to destroy the enemy headquarters.
The whole world starts under AI control. Win battles to free sectors of a real world map and put your commander's name on them. Larger sectors are co-op battles fought alongside other players, with bots filling any empty seat. When the whole map is free, the season ends and a new war begins.
You can play in the browser, on iPhone, iPad or Android with one account, so your commander follows you from your computer to your phone.
How to play
- Start the first campaign mission. It walks you through the basics step by step.
- Build power plants first, then a refinery to harvest credits.
- Build a war factory and train units. Add turrets to protect your base.
- Clear out the dragons, wolves, raptors, zombies and UFOs that guard resources before you expand.
- Send your army at the enemy headquarters. Destroy it to win the battle.
