Publisher Slitherine and developer SteelBalalaika have officially launched the real-time strategy game “Broken Arrow” on Steam. Even before its release, the game achieved impressive milestones: over 1 million wishlists on Steam, 500,000 pre-registrations during testing, and 380,000 hours watched on Twitch. It consistently ranked within the Top 30 most anticipated games on Steam and the Top 50 global bestsellers.
“Broken Arrow” breaks away from the traditional RTS approach of overwhelming numbers, instead focusing on strategy, timing, and precise control. Players must carefully read the battlefield, coordinating multiple unit types that each serve unique roles. The game features 10 military specializations, more than 300 units, 19 single-player campaigns, and a 5v5 multiplayer mode, creating battles that unfold like a tactical symphony with rich layers.
Set in the Baltic theater of war, the initial release includes a troop-building system, deep unit customization, and realistic military units, catering to both RTS newcomers and hardcore fans. Since 2021, the development team has been continuously refining the game, incorporating community feedback. Media outlets have praised it as a top RTS contender for 2025, noting its accessibility even for players new to the genre.
With ongoing content updates planned, “Broken Arrow” promises an exciting future ahead.
