ORDNIX - Free PC Download

Command a modern combined-arms battlefield

ORDNIX is a real-time strategy wargame where you build a force with requisition points, deploy reinforcements and fight for control of the battlefield. Coordinate armor, infantry, artillery, aircraft, drones and naval units. Scout the enemy, protect your support units and decide where to commit your next reinforcements.

Play solo against AI commanders in Skirmish, or face other players online. Solo opponents use conventional game AI; no external AI model or subscription is required.

Build your force. Take the objectives.

Choose a nation, map and battle settings, then spend your requisition on the units you need. In Conquest, capture and hold objectives to earn victory points. Balance frontline strength with reconnaissance, air defense and support, and use terrain to approach a position or defend it.

Eight nations, different arsenals

Command the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Russia, China, India or Iran. Each nation has its own equipment roster and limitations. Not every force has access to every vehicle, aircraft or ship, so your choice changes how you assemble an army.

Combine tanks and mechanized infantry with artillery, reconnaissance and air support. Engineers and trench positions add defensive options, while aircraft and drones open additional ways to observe and attack.

Find the enemy. Choose your moment.

A reconnaissance camera gives a different view of the battlefield.

Reconnaissance helps you locate threats before committing your main force. Radar, electronic warfare and drone feeds add another layer to the fight. Switch to an FPV strike drone's camera to guide its approach directly.

Take the battle to sea

Naval theaters bring surface ships and submarines into the fight. Eligible nations can deploy aircraft carriers and carrier-supported aircraft in ocean battles. Fleet composition and available equipment depend on your nation and the theater.

Current development focus

ORDNIX is in active development. Performance optimization, interface improvements and terrain and lighting refinements are ongoing. The current release can suffer low frame rates, including in smaller battles; larger battles are more demanding. Planned improvements are not a guarantee of current performance. Each game update includes versioned patch notes explaining the changes and remaining issues.

An SSD is recommended for installation; NVMe is suitable if available. Leave additional free space for Steam updates, caches and saved data. Storage speed does not resolve all frame-rate issues.
