Actually, it reminds me of War Thunder and its ilk as well – this is a new action/ strategy game that’s just hit Steam Early Access, where up to ten players per side control a squad of three units and must compete over objectives in large, hand-crafted maps. Iron Conflict kind of reminds me of what End of Nations ended up being.
Officially cancelled around 2014, it initially wanted to be an ‘MMORTS’, whatever that was, but then quickly attempted to pivot to be a MOBA game in the wake of League of Legends and DOTA’s rising popularity.
Does anyone remember the RTS game that wanted to be an MMO, then a MOBA, then nothing as it shut down? End of Nations was a fascinating side-note in the genre arms races of the mid 2010s.
