Global Ordnance: The Iron Fist

A real RTS on your phone: 27 units, 75+ upgrades, an enemy AI that learns how you play — free and offline. Prefer to play without ads? One small Supporter purchase removes all ads for good. It's a single payment, no subscription, and it stays yours on every reinstall. Global Ordnance: The Iron Fist is built in the spirit of the classic PC real-time strategy games of the late '90s — real units, hard counters, a front line that moves — and redesigned from the ground up for a touchscreen. The whole battlefield fits on one screen. No base to build, no map to drag: every decision is a combat decision. Research, deploy, push the line, and put a shell through the enemy HQ before it does the same to yours. YOU COMMAND. DIRECTLY. Units drop straight onto your side of the field while the fight is already on. Pick targets, focus fire, pull back. Two fingers grab every tank, three every vehicle, four every gun; double-tap takes every unit of one type. No menus mid-fight. FROM SCOUT CAR TO NUCLEAR STRIKE • The Ferret: $100, fast, fragile, first on the field • The Mammoth Tank: two barrels, crushes lines and keeps rolling • The Trident: three barrels, artillery range, lays mines as it moves • The Sniper Tank: never misses, fires first, dies if anything gets close • The Hammer Tank: one oversized gun, the highest HQ damage in the game • The Apocalypse bomber and the V2 ballistic missile: when the ground game is not enough 27 units across armor, vehicles, aircraft and fixed defenses, every one with an in-game info card and a counter. UPGRADES THAT REWRITE A UNIT 75+ upgrades, researched while shells are still flying. A Medium Tank with the Grinder chews through wreckage and repairs its own hull. Uranium shells leave lingering radiation. Chaff, flash bombs and a radar scrambler blind the enemy's anti-air. Upgrades don't buff a unit — they change what it is. AMMO RUNS OUT. WRECKAGE PAYS. Kill-to-Earn: what you destroy funds what you build next. Ammo is finite, so supply trucks rearm and repair the front, lay anti-tank or nuclear mines, and the units that survive rank up and hit harder. THE ENEMY IS WATCHING The Adaptive AI reads how you play in real time and adapts. No inflated stats, no artificial accuracy, no scripted waves — it just plays smarter. Keep your anti-air close. THE GROUND FIGHTS BACK Two battlefields: a green biome, and a snow biome with Thin Ice — frozen ground that holds a unit only so long. The heavier the tank, the faster it sinks. Send a Mammoth onto the wrong patch and it isn't coming back. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Classic matches. Timed Blitz: 1, 3 or 5 minutes, only HQ damage counts, turtling loses. Upkeep: every unit on the field costs you money for as long as it stands. FAIR BY DESIGN • Free to play, with one optional Supporter purchase that removes all ads.
