A real-time simulation of World War II close combat battles
Firefight is a World War II real-time simulation game with more AI and attention to detail than any other game in its genre to date. Tanks are modelled with a physics engine and have gears, rev counters and speedos, and steer themselves with brake levers to give them realistic looking tracked vehicle movement. Each bullet, shell or piece of shrapnel is modelled in 3D and ricochets realistically off sloping surfaces. You can see each infantryman's rank, name, weapon, ammunition remaining, heart rate and fatigue levels. Machine gunners will call for ammunition when they're running low and other squad members will rush over with spare ammo if they are carrying any. Wounded men call for medics who will sprint over to administer first aid. Off-board artillery can be called in but will have to fire several ranging shots before the full 8 gun battery opens fire simultaneously. If you liked Close Combat you'll love Firefight!

I love this game! playing on playpass, but I will likely purchase the game when my subscription ends. The only request I have is: Add a way to resupply units. I know this games pacing really doesn't allow for "tug of war" engagements, but that's how I like to play. When a unit runs out of ammo completely they're pretty useless. I wish there were a mechanic where you could retreat them off map and they could come back resupplied? anyway. great game and I will just adjust my tactics.

Amazing game only a few minor additions I would say but I know the game is getting updates and I hope it continues to grow but overall amazing game
- Blake McGill · v13.0.2
The enemy AI is way more active and fast-acting than the player's. playing those tank only missions is so hard because my tank will spot other tanks and then pivot around like it's still looking for more targets and get shot right away. this has to be improved some how.
- Jacob Craft · v13.0.2
Controls are terrible and units rarely do what you command. Using tactics makes sense but watching none of the units do what they're told with zero explanation is too annoying to make it fun.
- Nester665
You should make a modern-day expansion! With drones, trench warfare...I'd buy that.
- John Cook · v11.7.2
Absolutely brilliant. I absolutely adore this game, a top-down WW2 RTS mobile game that doesn't feel cartoony and unrealistic is something I never thought I'd find, but this is extremely gritty, bloody, with a decent AI, fantastic maps, attention to historical detail and extremely addictive gameplay. since my last edit the AI is now more active and the multiplayer now functions! Another edit: Thank you for the airstrikes!!!
- Samuel Didsbury-Schol · v13.0.0
As someone who plays A LOT of RTS games on my Pc, this is an amazing alternative especially if you just want to lay back in your bed. fantastic and I love the sounds!
- THE T.A.B.S GUARDIAN
One of my favorite war mechanics games on mobile because of how realistic is it. The new updates are good too, especially the Airstrikes and bombs. However, if I were to make a suggestion, I would say to add different sound effects for each gun."*
- Naif Ameril · v13.0.0
Doesn't even come close to "Company of Heroes" for mobile. Trust me, get that instead.
- EB
Just like close combat
- Mark Deschamps · v13.0.0
Great game but don't buy unless you want to pay same price for map packs lol
- Liam Cook · v12.2.0
The game have unique gameplay, such as real time battle, have custom battle and much map.. the missing thing is just like story mode, random generated map, and abandoning tank crew is useless , need an update again :)
- Sumber Media 2
Very reminiscent of the close combat series. Fun game with some neat graphics and effects. What really hurts this game is the enemy is basically always in ambush mode. They just sit waiting for you to move up and then blast you. However, they are always in the same spot so you can just flank them the next game. Kind of disappointing. Also you only get 1 map pack. If you want the full game with all maps you must pay $40. That's insane.
- Anthony · v12.2.0
brilliant! love this game
- Brian Williams · v10.5.2
absolutely perfect
- Zayhi · v12.2.0
great game. played this back in the 90s. Use to be called close combat.
- Matthew Friedrich · v12.2.0
we're waiting for a D-day beach landing campaign. Omaha,Utah, Juno, Gold, Sword.
- Sleeping Ninja quiet time · v12.2.0
This game is %100 for all you casual tactical command simulator lovers!!! I'm absolutely glad I found this app it's awesome it is literally like HLL tactical map but without the FPS and you command everything.. definitely worth the download!! I have one suggestion PLEASE add a few more formation options AND this is a MUST ADD, the option to select multiple units!! after that it will be PERFECTION 😁🔥💯💯
- Jacob Taura · v12.2.0
Im an strategy game adict to me this is great and it's really fun to play with your friends and i suggests put infinite money mode or put more money and I suggests in defence mode put put building defence like bunker and sand bag soil bag and you can build a trench and put a time mode in taking the flag and the tank npc pls pix it there terrible in driving and use piso currency this game little expensive but adding more it will be worth it
- John Lexter Lagulay · v12.2.0
nice game but a had some bug to fix and I recommend to put some historical event while playing the campaign
- Some One · v12.2.0
Simple and Goated game, but why is there still a payment feature if this game cost a lot to buy
- Kurt Macaranas · v12.2.0
enemy artillery and mortars are wayyy too accurate. it takes my mortars a good 5-7 shots to lock in but theirs takes 1 shot maybe 2 or 3.
- Jacob Robbins · v12.2.0
I wanna firefight with modern war maybe Syrian civil war.. please
- Aedi Asnaini · v12.2.0
2024: It's a great game and has good bones, but some* of the flesh is weak. AI won't move fast enough. "Move it" should override all. You tell them to move and they sit there, enemy fire or not. You tell a tank to move forward, does a 50 point turn, and then sits there for far too long. Enemy or not. Just a few buttons in the UI are low res/stretched. Explosions and weapon effects/sounds, and the destructable buildings--are all awesome. Add a sandbox mode to throw armies at eachother freely.
- Gage Stepek · v11.1.0
just like close combat series me and my dad played when I was a kid on PC... brilliant, hope to see more from him, this isn't the arcade simulation bs you see on here, those two words don't even belong together, this is a real deal old school game with new school graphics and real logic, actual depth instead of items and skins every game uses now
- Brandon “DrGameKiller” Salyer · v11.1.0
goood
- dario · v12.2.0
I enjoy the game but I would love a change to two things. 1. Change the pathfinding of ai, as it is rather outlandish how when I order my forces to move, they don't stick together and scatter all over the place. You could make a few tweaks to make each squad stick together. 2. I have noticed that even though I order my troops to fire at something, they still choose to fire at a completely different target. These are just suggestions.
- John Walters · v12.2.0
Thanks for fixing multiplayer. I hope to see some artillery units. I don't why my map purchases are there no more. I really hope you fix that.
- Dylan Campos · v12.2.0
needs map builder
- tabz 2050 · v12.2.0
My tank crew earned the lowest on the eyesight test. giant panther 40 yards ahead. you're behind a bush, start capturing the objective and wait a minute. you don't see that giant thing in the middle of the street, but then its turret turns around and sees you through a tiny little bush who is recruiting these men. My tank cruise have constant eyelashes in their eyes or something that is shielding their view or the commanders just on a nap break deciding binoculars very optional.
- Cy Deaton · v12.2.0
Firefight offers one of the most realistic World War II strategy experiences on mobile. The tactical gameplay, detailed battlefield mechanics, and immersive sound design make every mission exciting. It has a learning curve, but once you understand the mechanics, it's incredibly rewarding. A must-play for anyone who enjoys military strategy games.
- SuhA (- SB) · v12.2.0
This game is alright for me when battles are realistic but I would like to see a D Day map on the Western campaign, more tanks such as the T95 or others that didn't enter production, and fix the soldiers to either stand up or lay low from enemy fire.
- Gavin Lawrence · v12.2.0
after some learning its fun but hard ina **** way but good game. add sum like it can be inf and AT but no tanks or sum like. (add rocket artillery & maybe move individual people from the squad) & idk but prob me but howitzers dont do nothing (sometimes) but would be cool if it can act like Morters. [For dev: modding the game is hard, idk code or what that is, cant fine any videos to explain.]
- Teto RAM RAM · v12.2.0
simple: GREATEST REAL TIME STRATEGY ON MOBILE, nobody can make any more realistic close combat, WW2 , than this game. but the 1 star reviews are due to people not knowing how to play this game. i give you a help, visit firefight RTT youtube channel that will give you help on how to use commands. that's it if you love RTS then you will definitely feel blessed to have this game.
- sri ram · v12.2.0
Good game. Good graphics. Developer continues to upgrade and update. Wish list would be the African campaigns.
- Rick Theberge
I'm highly pissed with the game, bad updates and even for a 2d game its very unoptimised, purchased at a discount i know but the price is still 14.50$? -My goal is to reach a full refund-. I want my money back and I couldn't refund the game after I was unsatisfied from the first place!... Other from that, the game holds a great amount of historical maps.. wait what? 10+ dollars for each campaign? excuse me!?!?!? please refund me ASAP i am highly pissed off and want a refund.
- Marios Waad Ramzi
really enjoy this game but a campaign mode or something would be great
- Fabio
Overall the game appears well-designed, but unfortunately it's only playable on a tablet. The font is so small that the game is pretty much unplayable on a phone. The lack of a tutorial also gives the game a steep learning curve.
- Matthew Streb · v12.2.0
This is defenetely the best combat game i have altough it costed me many euros to get the full game. It has a complicated but interesting concept,that i always wanted to experience but i never found a good game whit it,until i found out about this game and even if i had to wait much time for it,it was worth the long wait and i must say i got addicted to the maps and the game.
- Pippo Baldo Real · v12.2.0
Wunderbar!
- Renault Ft · v12.1.2
love this game, I think a good feature to add would be an option to split a single infantry unit similar to the dismount/mount for certain vehicles except you be able to split/unsplit the rilfe company,
- Minecraft Jax · v12.1.2
one of the best games I've played . is it available on pc?
- Joel
I payed for the exact map but can't play them
- Darrell Pittman · v12.1.2
Simple, realistic, slow-paced and peaceful until you get absolutely pinned and wrecked. Um... Arma meets Doorkickers meets... uh... landsat. Patience and planning is recommended and I don't have any... but this game exists for those that do.
- Derelict Account
is there a way we can add aircraft as support abilities
- Thomas Sturgeon · v12.1.0
I've been playing for aVERY long time now and one thing I can say that is extremely enjoyable is that the game gets regular updates, fixes, and overall improvements. I would love to see some more diversity of weather, troop capabilities, like Engineering unit that has unique ability like being able to fix broken down vehicles ect. My main complaint is all the pay walls, just make a 1 time payment, I bought all the original maps, then all of asudedn there are more, also pretty expensive
- Nathan Peacock · v12.1.0
love this game so highly addicting
- charles mcconnell · v12.1.0
well it's good,if you are playing just you against the AI or whatever it's called prepare for a difficult task and sometimes it cheats but it is a very good game and I can relax by killing them swint eyed bastards !
- Imaokru
best
- Auffa 1102 (Mr. Auf) · v12.1.0
$9 per map pack they should be Bigger 🪤
- J W Bianchini · v11.8.3
best game i have ever played and there is so much content. devs please make it sothat you can also control individual soldiers so that you can spread em more out.
- Jaden · v12.0.0
Easily one of the best strategy games I've ever played however it gets a bit stale playing the same maps over and over again and the modern cities dlc is a bit overpriced. For this reason PLEASE add an ingame mod menu so you can download and make your own maps and units and such. But that's really my own and only complaint about the game. The units move in ways that feel realistic and I love the fact that your tanks can get "panicked" even if it has screwed me over more times then I can count
- Bobby Ruckley #166 · v11.9.0
lovely game easy to play and a very good tactical gameplay
- Roland Laking · v11.9.0
amazing game if anyone remembers and liked Microsoft close combat you will love this game absolutely my favorite war game on mobile
- Ryan Sanborn
Do what
- Mark Pedzinski · v11.9.0
It's a wonderful game one thing I would like is that the British Paras can use the PIAT. Other then that is amazing
- Gabe · v11.8.3
Hey, I hope you guys can read this. I wanted to tell you this game is quite fun and holds itself quite well and I want to voice some suggestions. 1. adding scout units with their own unique abilities such as being harder to spot when ordered to sneak. 2. assault order. where individual squads try to suppress a enemy squad with grenades and firepower to then assault it with bayonets and what not. and more maps like North Africa.
- Mcglenn Andrei Claud · v7.4.3
really fun game if anything could use multiplayer or some kind of expansion into the play
- Tyler
this game is one of the best TOP 5 games to play while time is passing. If you love WW2 history and "events". This game is a work of art. $10 is worth it
- Luis A Jimon · v11.8.3
fun
- jackson ladouceur
Fun game, but we need to be able to put down more units in custom games, and its very limiting when you try to play a custom game. I get they want you to plan out your budget for the game, but its too low and and it gets to a point where its not fun i wanna be able to habe large battles and large tank battles on these large maps but i cant habe fun because the budget is like 320 and the units are too expensive to have any fun
- Rey Porrata · v11.8.3
great game, maps are kinda expensive for me, but still worth to play!
