About This Game

Urban Assault is an action-strategy hybrid developed by Terratools and published by Microsoft, set in a post-apocalyptic 3D world. Players command an army from an overhead map while also dropping directly into any of 15 vehicles for first-person cockpit control. The game combined real-time strategy resource management with direct vehicle action across more than 40 missions, featuring destructible city environments with over 100 building types.
