HEXARMY is a turn-based tactical strategy game where you command a military faction, draft an army of specialized units, and wage war across procedurally generated hex battlefields. Master terrain advantages, combined-arms tactics, and fog of war to outmaneuver your opponents in single-player campaigns against intelligent AI or in intense PvP multiplayer matches.

From infantry squads holding chokepoints to jets delivering devastating airstrikes, every unit has a role. Draft your army from 21 distinct unit types spanning ground, air, naval, and special forces. Each unit has unique stats for health, attack, defense, accuracy, dodge, movement, vision, and range — creating deep tactical decision-making in every engagement.

Combat factors in terrain defense bonuses, entrenchment, flanking multipliers, counter-attacks, and unit-vs-unit effectiveness tables. Position matters. Terrain matters. The commander who reads the battlefield wins.

Each faction plays differently. Doctrines define combat bonuses, penalties, budget sizes, and strategic tendencies. The AI leverages faction-specific strategies on Medium and Hard — a Russian AI mass-produces cheap units, an Iranian AI flanks relentlessly, and a US AI dominates with air power. Choose a faction that matches your playstyle — or master them all to unlock faction mastery commendations.

Create or join multiplayer rooms for 2, 3, or 4 player matches. Play free-for-all or form teams (2v2, 2v1, 3v1). Games feature blind faction pick, simultaneous drafting, and real-time turn-based combat with disconnect recovery.

Compete on the ranked ladder where only human-vs-human games count. Track your individual ELO across lifetime and monthly ladders, rising through 17 tiers from Bronze to General. Join a battalion to contribute to your team's collective ranking and fight for battalion supremacy on the leaderboards.

Seven map generators create unique battlefields every game: Continents, Archipelago, Pangaea, and themed presets like Desert Storm, Pacific Islands, Frozen Steppe, and European Plains. Maps scale from small skirmishes to epic 5,000-tile theaters of war.

Terrain shapes every battle. Forests provide cover, mountains block line of sight, cities generate income, and oceans require naval transport. Entrench in defensive positions, exploit flanking corridors, and deny your opponent key terrain.

Every terrain type comes alive with detailed visual decorations. Procedurally generated forests feature lush trees with individual trunks, roots, and multi-layered canopies. Mountains display craggy spires with stratified ledges, vertical cracks, and moss patches. Cities burst with varied buildings, rooftop details, street-level trees, and lamp posts. Each hex maintains consistent visual identity through seeded variation.

Progress through 24 USMC-themed military ranks from Private to General. Earn XP through combat actions — kills, captures, damage, and victories. Higher ranks require elite prestige conditions: win streaks, hard mode victories, faction mastery, and perfect games.

Unlock 97 commendation medals across combat, achievement, faction mastery, and endurance categories. Your Service Record tracks every stat, every game, every accomplishment. Public dossiers let other commanders inspect your record.

The single-player AI uses faction-specific strategies with unique tactical priorities, aggression levels, retreat thresholds, and production weights. Russia swarms with numbers. The UK digs in and picks you apart. North Korea builds forward fortresses. The AI reads the terrain, prioritizes targets, and adapts its approach based on doctrine.

Three difficulty levels scale from forgiving to ruthless. On Hard mode, the AI exploits every advantage and punishes every mistake — earning you the most prestigious commendations when you prevail.

A full audio engine delivers unit sound effects and an immersive military soundtrack. Nine military-themed background music tracks play in shuffled rotation during gameplay, with a Skip Track button to change songs on the fly. Music plays automatically during draft, placement, and battle phases, and pauses in menus and at victory/defeat screens. Faction-specific stingers punctuate key moments like reveals and victories. Independent volume sliders for Master, Music, and SFX let you dial in the perfect mix.

HexArmy runs as a native desktop application via Tauri, delivering the full browser experience in a lightweight standalone window. Connect a gamepad and command your forces from the couch — full controller support maps every action to intuitive button layouts: sticks for panning and cursor control, triggers for analog zoom, face buttons for unit selection and turn management. Steamworks integration provides authentication, overlay access, achievements, stats tracking, friends list, and Steam Cloud saves — your progress syncs across machines automatically. With graceful fallback for non-Steam players.
