About Vangrid
Vangrid is a top-down tactical shooter you can play solo or team up with friends online. Storm strongholds, hold points, escort convoys, or retake lost outposts across procedurally assembled maps where the terrain, reinforcements, and threats change every match — using firepower, drivable vehicles, and active backpack skills to turn the tide of battle.
Key Features
- Online co-op: Team up with friends to capture points, defend, and counter-attack across multiple mission types
- Ever-changing maps: Chunk-based map generation means every match has a different layout, approach, and threat level
- Drivable vehicles: Tanks, helicopters, and more turn the tide of battle
- Active backpack skills: Heal, build, repair, call in an airdrop, or call in an airstrike — mix and match to fit your playstyle
- Logistics System: Rescue wounded soldiers and hostages, and do not let the enemy breach your defensive lines.
- Smart AI squads: Behavior-tree-driven enemies with distinct tactical roles (assault, sniper, medic, engineer), backed by towering bosses
- Deep loadout customization: Mix weapons, armor, and backpacks to build your own tactical kit
Ready? Rally your squad. Every inch of lost territory is waiting to be reclaimed.
