📖Story & Lore

"In a galaxy where humanity has made the stars routine, every conflict tells a story"

The Universal Republic

Humanity has spread across the galaxy in a steady, unhurried expansion that spans multiple star systems. What began as Earth's first tentative steps beyond the home solar system has evolved into a vast network of colonies, trading posts, and settlements scattered throughout local space. This isn't the desperate exodus of a dying world, but rather the natural growth of a curious species that simply kept moving outward, one system at a time.

A Galaxy of Routine Conflicts

Life among the stars has settled into a peculiar rhythm. Interstellar commerce flows along established routes, colonial governments manage their territories with varying degrees of competence, and conflicts arise with the same mundane regularity as traffic disputes or neighborhood disagreements back on Earth. These aren't apocalyptic wars for survival, but rather the everyday friction that emerges when different groups compete for resources, territory, or simple recognition across dozens of worlds.

The Admiral's Role

In this sprawling civilization, you serve as one of the Republic's admirals - not a grand military dictator, but more akin to a traveling magistrate with a fleet. Your role is to respond to the various disputes, skirmishes, and tensions that bubble up across human space. One week you might mediate a mining rights conflict in the Centauri colonies, the next you could be managing a trade route dispute between rival corporate factions, and the week after that you might find yourself defusing tensions between planetary governments over orbital traffic regulations.

The Weight of Choice

What makes each conflict meaningful isn't its epic scope, but its personal consequences. Every decision ripples through the interconnected web of human civilization. The mining colony you help today might become tomorrow's strategic ally, while the corporate dispute you resolve could reshape trade patterns for years. In this galaxy where humans have simply gotten used to living among the stars, your choices as an admiral help determine whether that expansion continues peacefully or fractures into something more dangerous.

Controls & Interface

🎮Core Controls

Grid Navigation: Click/tap to select units and destinations

Layer Switching: Tab or swipe to switch between orbit, air, surface, underground

Quick Commands: Hotkeys for experienced players, touch-friendly for mobile

🏛️Interface Design

You command as a Battle-Admiral, managing tactical units through elegant context-sensitive menus that show only relevant actions.


The interface adapts to your current focus - whether commanding individual mechs on the surface or coordinating orbital bombardments - ensuring every control feels natural and purposeful.

"Every decision echoes across four dimensions of warfare"

🏗️Game Layers

1. Moment-to-Moment Gameplay

Pure Advance Wars-style tactical combat elevated to new heights. Deploy, move, and command units across four simultaneous battlefield layers - orbital satellites providing reconnaissance, fighter jets dominating the skies, tanks rolling across the surface, and submarines lurking in underwater caverns.


Each unit can interact with and transition between appropriate layers. Aircraft can land for repairs, ground units can call in orbital strikes, and underground forces can emerge to surprise surface enemies. Every turn becomes a three-dimensional chess match.

2. Low Metagame - Campaign Chains

Individual battles link together into dynamically generated campaigns where victory conditions and map parameters emerge from your previous actions. Liberate a mining colony, and you'll gain access to advanced unit types. Lose a key battle, and enemy forces will press their advantage in subsequent encounters.


Unlike traditional campaigns with predetermined missions, AWB creates scenarios that feel personal and consequential. Each campaign arc spans 3-8 battles with escalating stakes and evolving objectives.

3. High Metagame - Universe Evolution

Your tactical victories and defeats shape a persistent galactic civilization. Regions you've secured become safe havens generating resources and new mission opportunities. Areas you've lost become staging grounds for enemy counterattacks.


The universe simulation runs continuously, creating a living world where returning to previously conquered systems might reveal new threats, ally requests, or opportunities for expansion. Your strategic legacy grows with every campaign completed.

4. Practical Game Flow

Boot up the game, review the current galactic situation, select from 3-5 generated mission options based on your current capabilities and the universe state. Engage in 20-50 minutes of tactical combat across beautifully designed multi-layer battlefields.


Complete missions earn you reputation, resources, and new unit access. The universe evolves based on your choices, generating fresh challenges for your next session. Perfect for both quick strategic fixes and extended campaign binges.

Game Features & Mechanics

🌌 Multi-Layer Battlefields

The revolutionary four-layer combat system transforms traditional tactical warfare. Orbital platforms provide long-range support and surveillance, aircraft dominate rapid response and reconnaissance, surface forces control territory and resources, while underground/underwater units enable stealth operations and surprise attacks.


Units can transition between appropriate layers - aircraft landing for repairs, submarines surfacing to engage, ground forces calling orbital strikes. This creates unprecedented tactical depth while maintaining the quick, decisive gameplay of classic Advance Wars.

ORBIT LAYER Satellites • Orbital Platforms • Space Fighters AIR LAYER Fighters • Bombers • Air Transports • Helicopters SURFACE LAYER Tanks • Infantry • Artillery • Mobile Bases UNDERGROUND/UNDERWATER Submarines • Tunnel Boring Units • Underground Facilities Units can transition between compatible layers

🎲 Procedural Universe Generation

Advanced AI systems create contextually aware campaigns that respond to your strategic choices. The universe simulation tracks faction relationships, resource flows, technological development, and territorial control to generate missions that feel organically connected to your ongoing story.


No two players will experience the same galactic conflict. Your tactical successes and failures create unique narrative branches, ensuring that every campaign feels personally meaningful rather than following predetermined scripts.

🔧 Advanced Unit Systems

Inspired by BattleTech Armored Core Warzone 2100


Deep customization meets streamlined battlefield deployment. Units feature modular weapon systems, terrain-specific adaptations, and technological upgrades that unlock through campaign progression.


Between battles, spend as much or as little time as desired in the garage, customizing loadouts, upgrading systems, and experimenting with unit combinations. In battle, these choices manifest as tactical options without overwhelming complexity.

🌍 Dynamic Terrain Systems

Battlefields evolve during combat through destruction and construction. Artillery bombardments crater the landscape, engineers build bridges and fortifications, weather systems alter visibility and movement, and some weapons permanently reshape the battlefield.


Inspired by Into The Breach's environmental puzzle elements, terrain becomes a tactical resource to manipulate rather than static obstacles to navigate around.

👥 Character Relationship Systems

Meet rival admirals, form alliances with fellow commanders, and develop relationships with your crew through a sophisticated dynamic character system combining Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis mechanics with Fire Emblem's relationship building.


Enemy commanders remember your tactics and adapt their strategies. Allied officers grow more effective through shared campaigns. These relationships influence available missions, unit capabilities, and story developments.

🕊️ Beyond Combat Operations

Not every mission involves military conquest. Deploy civilian and scientific units in rescue operations, disaster relief, exploration missions, and diplomatic escorts. These scenarios utilize the same tactical framework while exploring themes of cooperation, discovery, and humanitarian aid.


Such missions provide narrative variety and demonstrate the versatility of your strategic capabilities beyond pure warfare scenarios.

"Command across dimensions - every layer tells a different story"

🎯Strategic Depth

Admiral Wars Beyond represents the ultimate evolution of turn-based tactics, combining proven mechanics from the greatest strategy games ever created into a cohesive, accessible experience.


The game respects your time with quick setup and immediate tactical engagement, while providing virtually unlimited strategic depth for those who seek to master its systems. Whether you have 20 minutes or 4 hours, AWB adapts to your available time while maintaining meaningful progression.
