Threads of War is a fusion of Battle City mechanics and rogue-lite map progression.
Ukraine is under attack by mechanized hordes of unclean forces: weak but numerous demons, fast werewolves, and heavy monsters. Become one of the hundreds of thousands of warriors of light who rose to defend their families, their homeland, and their future. The game tells the story of how Ukrainian territories were liberated during the first year of the war: from Hostomel to Kherson.
The game was developed by two Ukrainians - a father and son - who aimed to convey the story of Ukraine鈥檚 liberation in this brutal modern war through metaphors, folklore imagery, and traditional Ukrainian embroidery.
25% of the earnings will be donated to trusted units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for urgent needs.

The game not only entertains but also reflects our view of the war. Behind each tank icon lies a human life - a person who lived, dreamed, worked, and loved. War means countless human tragedies, and through its mechanics, the game allows players to feel that reality.

We took the core of Battle City, kept its fun elements, but modernized and enriched it with new mechanics like ammo collection, passive and active bonuses, boss battles, and more. We've also created enemies with unique behaviors. As a result, you get endless variety: enemy tank combinations create new challenges, bonus synergies generate fresh combat strategies, and location generators make each battle unique.
