About This Game

Close Combat is a pausable real-time wargame series, heavily focused on historical accuracy and realistic soldier psychological profiles. Team management is crucial as every man in your teams matter. Developed from the United States Marine Corps training simulator (Close Combat: Marines), Close Combat - Modern Tactics was originally released in 2007 and re-released on Steam in 2021.

Engage in combat with up to 5 players per side and participate in intense head to head battles using Modern Era weaponry and equipment on gorgeous hand-drawn maps measuring from 1km square to giant 4km x 1km maps.

Mechanics are terrible compared to the other titles in the series. This is just plain bad. The mechanics of the soldier movement are bad, they do not traverse to follow orders. I have been playing this series of games since the early 90s and this one is just not well done.

With no campaign mode this game offers very little. For the fans of the close combat series please save your money and play the classics instead.

It's simple and fun, although can be erratic sometimes.
