What is Defilade?
Defilade is an old-school isometric real-time strategy game set in modern warfare, developed and published by RBGames. The game features physics-driven ballistics, dynamic cover geometry, destructible massive battlefields, and intelligent troops that navigate modern combined-arms combat.
Matches revolve around constructing forward operating bases by hand, laying dedicated supply roads, and managing physical ammunition logistics. Commanders direct autonomous squads that dig trenches, drag wounded allies to safety under covering fire, and defend supply routes against ambushes and drone strikes.
