Muharebe

MUHAREBE is an asymmetric real-time strategy game pitting a modern national army against a resourceful irregular militant faction.

You take command of the Turkish Armed Forces — a disciplined, tech-driven military machine. Your enemy fights dirty: cheap units, fast builds, hidden positions, and suicide tactics. You can't match their numbers. They can't match your firepower. The battlefield decides who adapted better.

Two Factions. Two Philosophies.

Turkish Armed Forces Few but powerful. Your soldiers are expensive, well-trained, and backed by advanced technology. Research upgraded armor, unlock special forces units, and call in commander abilities — from artillery strikes to UAV reconnaissance. A single Altay tank can turn a battle, but it takes time and resources to field one. Protect your tech advantage and strike with precision.

Militant Faction Cheap, fast, and relentless. Recruit waves of fighters for a fraction of the cost, convert civilian pickups into armed technicals, and use camouflage and ambush tactics to punish careless opponents. Your buildings go up fast and fall fast — but you can always rebuild. Overwhelm, harass, and never give the enemy a moment of peace.

Core Gameplay

Combined Arms Tactics Every unit has a counter. Tanks dominate vehicles and structures but struggle against massed infantry. Mountain commandos detect hidden enemies and shut down suicide attacks. Armed pickups excel at hit-and-run but crumble under tank fire. Winning requires the right composition, not just the biggest army.

Tech Tree & Research Both factions progress through a branching research tree. The TSK unlocks advanced tank variants, extended drone surveillance, and artillery coordination. The militant faction develops veteran fighters, heavy weapon modifications, and fanatical units. Timing your research is as important as timing your attacks.

Commander Abilities (TSK) Call in illumination flares to reveal hidden enemies, deploy UAV reconnaissance to lift the fog of war, request reinforcement squads from HQ, or unleash long-range bombardment on clustered enemy positions — each with its own cost and cooldown.

Capture & Control Radar outposts scattered across the map provide bonus income when captured. Controlling the map's economy is often the difference between a dominant late-game push and a slow defeat. Fight for every outpost.

Base Building Construct barracks, command centers, vehicle workshops, drone ports, bunkers and defensive positions. TSK structures are tough and orderly; militant structures are cheap, fast to build, and disposable. Your base layout shapes your strategy.

Key Features

— Asymmetric faction design: no mirrored units, every matchup plays differently 
— Rock-paper-scissors counter system across all unit types
— Branching tech trees with meaningful unlock choices
— Commander abilities: flares, UAV recon, artillery, reinforcements
— Capturable resource points that drive map control
— Stealth and detection mechanics: hidden defensive positions, camouflaged units, and tools to reveal them
— Built for replayability: every match unfolds differently based on build order and timing

Current State

MUHAREBE is in early testing. All units, buildings, tech trees, and commander abilities for both factions are implemented and playable. Matches are single-player against AI on procedurally generated seed-based maps. Balance tuning and content updates are ongoing — your feedback directly influences development.

Developer's Note

I moved to our village so my wife and I could build a life together. We put everything we had into a water drilling business. It didn't go the way we planned. Some days the work is there, some days it isn't. The savings are gone and the future we imagined is on hold.

I started making this game in the hours between jobs — late nights after long days in the mud. It wasn't a business decision. It was the one thing that kept me moving forward when everything else felt like it was falling apart.

MUHAREBE is not backed by a studio or a publisher. There's no funding, no safety net. It's just me, a laptop, and whatever time I can steal from the day.

I'm not telling you this so you feel sorry for me. I'm telling you because if you play this game and something feels off — a balance issue, a missing feature, a rough edge — I want you to know there's one person on the other side who will read your feedback and work on it.

This game is my shot. Thank you for giving it a chance.
