About
Battlecruisers is a hand-drawn strategy game set in the 28th century, when Earth is flooded by rising sea levels and foes compete for receding spits of land. Build, strategize, attack, and defend to conquer your military enemies and harvest their warships and weaponry.

Humans are long gone, and our robot descendants are reckless, trash-talking, and power-hungry. You play Charlie, an opportunistic utility robot who takes an unattended Trident-class battleship for a quick spin around the harbor. The only problem: it belongs to the world’s greatest superpower.

Arm and defend your cruiser or be sunk to the watery depths. Grow your arsenal with each victory, accruing frigates, artillery, bombers, lasers, stealth generators, and more. Reinforce your defense with shields and boosters, and enhance your production speed with an army of builder drones.

Wreak havoc with napalm, nuke launchers, and experimental ultra-weapons, including the Death Star Satellite, the Ultralisk Rapid Fabrication Facility, and the Kamikaze Signal.

As a self-appointed battlecruiser captain, you’re in charge of the design, building, resourcing, and strategic approach in real time battles. Meet the diabolical AI enemy head-on with cunning tactics or face certain death at the hands of murderous military robots like Huntress, Destruktor, and Karen.

Unlock new cruisers, buildings, units and ultraweapons as you wreak destruction around Flooded Earth. Face colossi and fortresses as Charlie becomes the most wanted pirate in history. Select the best weapons from your deadly arsenal and deploy them with skill to win the game.

Build the ultimate battlecruiser to strategically attack and destroy enemy warships. Start with the essentials and unlock new and surprising technology as your skills evolve.
Develop your own unique strategy to take down the robot enemies. You’ll have to be devious to beat the highest levels on hardest difficulty.
Explore a post-apocalyptic world where rising oceans have submerged the land. Battles take place against a backdrop of floating metal cities; homages to humanity’s great landmarks.
Fall in love with the stunning hand-drawn art. Designed by an explosion-obsessed artist, the particle system generation means you’ll never see the same blast twice.
Get hooked on the addictive soundtrack. The mood-dynamic music seamlessly matches the action and lulls of each battle to create intensive gameplay.
We’re a team of 3 from Whangaparaoa New Zealand, Germany and Texas. We created Battlecruisers for the love of explosive RTS with a minimalist twist.

2年没玩,怎么今天打开进不去,一直在开始界面一直加载
En realidad no es divertido. Además; es un pay to win con microtransacciones incluidas. Me sorprende que siga en Steam considerando que el desarrollador del juego no ha mencionado esto... La mecánica de construir el barco es tipo "Tower Defense", por lo que, aunque existen combinaciones posibles; termina por ser repetitivo, y aún más con el bajísimo arsenal con el que se inicia. Son al rededor de cinco armas, luego se desbloquean más con cada objetivo destruido, actualmente tengo unas ⁓10. Para disfrutar de la experiencia al completo; es necesario comprar dentro del juego con dinero real, obviamente. Y, no está en español aunque diga lo contrario, ojo ahí.
好玩,玩法上手很快,流程大概三四个小时,至少通过前没玩腻。 剧情也很有趣,很有精神。 不过中文机翻,还有内购元素,只玩pve倒是无所谓。
addictive and interesting game. when the gamer does not want a complex gaming mechanism this is the game.
Battlecruisers: A Blast of Strategy, Style, and Sound From the moment you take the helm of Charlie’s commandeered Battlecruiser, you're plunged into an explosively fun, visually stunning real‑time strategy that refuses to take itself seriously—and it’s all the better for it. Visually Striking & Hand-Drawn Charm Each battlefield is framed by hand‑drawn, minimalist art that oozes creativity. The explosion effects are a masterclass in stylised animation—no two blasts are the same—making every engagement feel fresh and cinematic. Strategic Depth with Deck‑Slot Management The core gameplay loop is brilliantly engineered: decisions revolve around which modules to build in which slots—turrets, shields, drones, or air units. This slot-based system forces you to think ahead and adapt on the fly, delivering rewarding tactical depth. Dynamically Addictive Soundtrack The game’s soundtrack isn’t just background music—it’s a mood director. It pulses with tension during battles and mellows during quieter moments, perfectly echoing your strategic flow. Many players find themselves hooked by the music alone. Gleefully Entertaining Tone Meet robotic foes like Destruktor and the hilariously named Karen—dialogue and narration leavened with dark humour make the campaign a delight to play through. Well-Received & Highly Rated With an overall Steam review rating of “Very Positive” (85%+), Battlecruisers clearly resonates with players. Metacritic-topping publications echo the praise: Metro UK gave it a 9/10, calling it “fully formed and highly playable,” and Game Industry News rated it 4.5/5. Final Verdict Battlecruisers is an indie gem that masterfully blends strategic mechanics, hand‑drawn artistry, and a brilliantly adaptive soundtrack. It’s a brief—but unforgettable—RTS journey packed with explosive moments, clever pacing, and a killer soundtrack that deserves its own applause. If you crave a stylish, fun, and tactically rich experience, this one’s an absolute must-play.
