Möbius Front '83, by Zachtronics




About



The year is 1983 and the United States of America must defend itself from an enemy it could have never imagined— an America from an alternate universe that will stop at nothing to seize control of the country’s heartland!

In Möbius Front ‘83 you will fight tactical, turn-based battles with the cutting-edge military hardware of the early 1980s. Use every tool available -- powerful tanks, fast-moving attack helicopters, long-ranged artillery, tenacious infantry, and more -- to control the complex and rapidly-changing battlefield of the era.

Who are the “Americans” attacking America, and why? Find out in the game’s extensive single-player campaign and its fully voiced cutscenes. When you’re ready for some R&R, play a new kind of solitaire, solve Zachtronics-style puzzles, and even read the U.S. military manuals that inspired the game.

MULTIPLAYER & SOVIET ARMY UPDATE: You can now also play one-off skirmish missions against the AI or your Steam friends using the armies from the campaign and the newly added Soviet Army faction. Complete the single-player campaign and unlock the ability to play as the enemy in multiplayer!

UPDATE: Multiplayer and a new Soviet army
Fri, 15 January 2021

Today's update adds a new multiplayer mode that enables one-off skirmish missions against the AI or Steam friends (or even people that you're not friends with but are in a group chat with, like the group chat that you can join at the top of the game's Community Hub).

Because your ability to play as the enemy "Americans" is only unlocked when you complete the single-player campaign, we've also added a brand new Soviet Army faction with over 20 units, including:

•   The T-72 Ural, an old tank but cheap tank that can be used to overwhelm your opponent.
•   The paratrooper team, which can deploy directly to any open hex on your side of the battlefield.
•   The BM-21 Grad, which launches four artillery attacks at a target in a single turn.

Try it out and let us know what you think!
