Defend USA in a post-apocalyptic war against ghouls and commies. While some are in control of combat drones, one person becomes the commander. Ground forces rely on the commander's air support, but he can’t see the battlefield. Communication is crucial! Single-player campaign included!
Call For Backup
Steam
Call For Backup is a unique blend of a top-down, class-based shooter and a real-time strategy with an emphasis on team-based multiplayer, precision, communication, and fast-paced decision-making. Are you and your friends smart and quick enough to survive in a crazy post-apocalyptic world full of ghouls and commies?

Gather a team of up to 4 players. Choose a commander. While 3 players pilot drones on the battlefield, the commander controls the situation from a strategic point of view and assists allies with airdrops and airstrikes. The commander, however, works in the dark and relies solely on ground reports from his teammates. Learn to communicate accurately, mark the enemy and make risky decisions under time pressure. Friendly fire is always on, so if you fail, your bomb will not kill the ghouls, but your friends!

Join your friends to compete against 4 other players in Versus Mode. Which commander is better at their job? Will expert leadership be crucial or maybe the struggle will be decided in direct combat on the battlefield? Call For Backup will force you not only to reach the heights of your shooting skills but also to think strategically. Remember: they can bomb you too!

Win 36 single-player matches. Defeat the enemy and face hordes of ghouls as a commander in charge of 3 combat drones. You can control them from the strategy screen or pilot them yourself. It's your choice! Explore a wicked alternate history of the 20th century where the Nazis were defeated by the Poles, America turned into a fascist dictatorship, JFK became a saint, Rasputin survived the assassination attempt and nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth.
