Fortress Commander launches — free, in your browser

Our first game is out. Fortress Commander is a fast, free economic-strategy game that runs entirely in your browser: open the link, pick a doctrine, and play. No download, no sign-up, no ads, and no purchase anywhere.

What it is

Fortress Commander puts you in command of one side of a contested battle lane. The twist is that your economy is physical: every unit of Matter you spend forward actually crosses the map as a slow, shootable convoy — and the enemy’s turrets are watching. Expansion is a supply line, and supply lines are targets.

Combat is fully automated. Your job is the strategy: where to build, when to push, and where to point one doctrine dial — Economy, Aggression, or Fortify. There are no control groups and no clicks-per-second tax. You think; it clicks.

A full match ends in under ten minutes, and every match ends with a sports-style debrief that shows you exactly why you won or lost.

Why it’s free, with no catch

Fortress Commander is the first rung of a ladder of small strategy games we’re building on the way to a larger team-strategy game. We want it played, broken, and argued with — so it’s simply free. No ads, no accounts, no tracking, no storefront. That’s not a promotion; it’s how we build games.
