The design
Built for the battlefield. Not the desk.
If you grew up on Arsenal: Extended Power or Command & Conquer, you know what a real RTS feels like. Global Ordnance is built in that spirit — redesigned from the ground up for mobile.
- No camera dragging. The map is fixed. The battlefield is your entire world.
- No base micromanagement. There are no buildings to babysit — by design.
- Every decision plays out in front of you. Sounds like a constraint. In practice it makes every move matter more.
Controls
Your hand is the interface.
A touchscreen isn’t a mouse and keyboard. For fixed-camera RTS — no map to pan, no base to manage — we think tap controls can be every bit as responsive. No fumbling for a menu mid-fight.
Two fingers
Selects every armored unit on the field.
Three fingers
Grabs everything unarmored, in one gesture.
Four fingers
Pulls your defenses to your command.
Double-tap
Selects every matching unit in play.
Tap-to-add
Already in. Drag-box selection is on the way.
Behavior patterns
Upcoming. Tell units what to prioritize — the most expensive target, the lowest-health enemy in range, whatever’s closing on your HQ.
The arsenal
Build your arsenal. Deploy with intent.
25 units. 55+ upgrades. Every unit documented — your strategy is built on real intel, not guesswork. Upgrades don’t just buff a unit; they change what it’s fundamentally capable of. See every upgrade and exactly what it changes.
- Medium Tank + Grinder — chews through wreckage and repairs its own hull as it goes.
- Heavy Tank, experimental shells — lingering radioactive damage on top of impact.
- Chaff, flash bombs, radar scrambler — blind their anti-air and their interception runs.
- Research mid-fight — while shells are still flying. Push the tech tree for faster builds and lower deployment costs.
- Kill-to-Earn economy — the wreckage you leave behind funds what you build next. Field a spy and they earn quietly, as long as they stay undetected.
The full roster
Twenty-five units. Four theatres.
Armour, vehicles, aircraft and fixed defences — every one documented in-game, nearly every one with its own upgrade path.

Achievements
Medals you haven’t found yet.
Every skin, perk and cosmetic in Global Ordnance is unlocked by playing it. There is no premium tier and nothing is for sale — the medals are the only currency that matters.
They’re deliberately undocumented. Not having found one doesn’t mean it isn’t there — they surface as you play.
Combat
The ground shakes. The sky burns.
The Mammoth Tank is a double-barreled experimental behemoth built to crush lines and keep going. The Cremator MLRS doesn’t care what’s dug in — armor, fortifications, whatever. It softens all of it.
When the ground game isn’t enough, push to the air. The Strike Jet hits fast and hard. The Interceptor, with its rocket upgrade paired to armor-piercing ammo, becomes a genuine early-to-mid game threat. The Airship absorbs punishment and keeps dropping bombs — send a wing on a Fly-By and it’ll tear down a whole row with no target lock required.
Adaptive AI
The enemy is watching.
Global Ordnance’s Adaptive AI tracks how you play — and counters it. It adjusts tactics, closes gaps, and punishes patterns.
No cheating. No bullet sponges, no inflated stats, no artificial accuracy. It just plays smarter, finding the strategic answer to whatever you’re doing. The only way to beat it is to outthink it.
New in v1.15
The ice doesn’t hold forever.
The battlefield itself has started fighting back. The new snow biome brings a mechanic we call Thin Ice — patches of frozen ground that hold your units only so long.
The heavier the unit, the faster it sinks. Commit a Mammoth Tank to the wrong patch and it isn’t coming back up. Read the ice wrong and the terrain beats you before the enemy does. All of it plays out across 18+ custom metal tracks built for the game.
The studio
Made by two people.
Married, and building this together while driving across the country in a converted van. No studio, no publisher, no office. Just a laptop, a battery bank, and enough stubbornness to see it through.
What you’re playing is what two people with a clear idea can actually make. Find out more about the developers →
