Brass Tactics

For those of you unfamiliar with the game, Brass Tactics is a living tabletop battlefield where you get to command dozens of units and take over the enemy’s territory in a game that redefines how an RTS can perform through VR. Users will be able to move the table to adjust your perspective and dive into the action, directing your army with both hands, all while seeing and hearing your opponent’s avatar across the table.

Brass Tactics will be available to play for free this weekend. No purchase of the game will be necessary. You can join the free weekend of Brass Tactics starting March 29th.
