Our take on Artillerists
The emphasis on weapons and tactical ammunition can make Artillerists sound like a pure combat game, but economic planning, factory control, and resource management are also part of the stated structure. The mission variety is presented broadly without detailed scenario information.
What is Artillerists?
Artillerists is a turn-based, isometric strategy game centered on destroying opposing forces, capturing territory, earning currency, and upgrading an army.
Combat includes standard units and weapons alongside radar reconnaissance, volley fire, air strikes, and artillery strikes. Players also handle resource management, factory control, and an arms race, linking military decisions with economic planning. The game takes place on a large island featuring varied terrain, weather conditions, battlefield sizes, and combat missions. Additional and bonus missions add further objectives. Its mechanics draw on the classic game Battleship, including ammunition that indicates the distance to enemy vehicles. The vendor also states that there is no limit on the number of troops under a player's command.
