Enlisted — WWII Multiplayer RTS
Command squads of infantry, tanks, and aircraft in massive 100+ player battles across the battlefields of World War II.
Enlisted is a free-to-play, large-scale multiplayer RTS developed by Darkflow Software. Unlike traditional RTS games where you control every unit, Enlisted lets you command a squad of soldiers while AI handles the micro — so you can focus on strategy, positioning, and coordinating with your team across the front lines.
The game features historically accurate maps from key WWII campaigns, a deep progression system with unlockable units and equipment, and a variety of game modes including Conquest, Assault, and Squad-based objectives. Whether you prefer leading a tank column, directing an infantry push, or providing air support, there is a role for every playstyle.

Game Modes
Enlisted offers several distinct game modes, each with its own objectives and pacing. Conquest is the flagship mode, where two armies fight for control of a large map by capturing and holding key points. Assault is a faster, more focused mode where one team attacks and the other defends a series of objectives. Squad-based modes let you and your friends team up to complete specific tasks, from destroying enemy vehicles to securing a flag.

How Squad Command Works
In Enlisted, you don't control every soldier individually. Instead, you command a squad of 4-8 units using simple, intuitive commands. Move your squad to a position, have them hold ground, push forward, or fall back. The AI handles the micro — aiming, shooting, and reacting to threats — so you can focus on positioning, timing, and coordinating with your team. This design makes Enlisted accessible to new players while still offering depth for veterans who want to master the art of squad-level strategy.
"I've played a lot of RTS games, but Enlisted is the first one that actually feels like commanding a squad. The AI does the micro, so I can focus on where to put my tanks and when to push. It's addictive."
