Inside ARENIZ

The game at a glance

Every picture is a real in-game capture.

Command Home

Your country's base stands in a living landscape. Meet your commander, special power and signature unit, then head into battle.

Faction battle interface

Each faction fights from its own console. Credits, power, radar, build lists and commands sit in one dock on the right.

A living battlefield

Rocks, trees and towns, tank tracks that stay in the ground, craters, drifting smoke and heavy explosions.

Elite Tech Tree

Every country has its own tech tree, topped by three elite tiers of stronger ★ units. Unlock them with experience or gold.

Prepare for Battle

Maps, live preview, players and match rules on one screen. Pick positions, teams, colours and bots, then start.

A voice for every unit

Units answer your orders in character, and each faction has its own announcer, in all 12 languages.

Clans, seasons and replays

Create a clan with its own crest, climb the ranked ladder each season and download the replay of every online match.

The game

Classic real-time strategy with a modern edge

ARENIZ is a real-time strategy game where every soldier, tank, ship and aircraft is its own unit with its own orders, health and target. You deploy a construction vehicle, grow your base inside its radius, keep the lights on with power plants and fund the war with ore your miners haul back from the field.

It is built in full 3D for modern PCs, with a readable top-down battlefield, terrain that matters — cliffs, ramps, high ground, rivers, bridges and coastline — and a fast, punchy rhythm that rewards both a strong economy and a sharp attack.

The rules are inspired by the golden age of the genre, but the identity is ARENIZ's own: three factions with their own architecture and vehicles, nine countries with signature units and charged abilities, and a campaign of forty-five missions that tells one war from all three sides.

Individual units

No stacks, no fleets — hundreds of units each fight, retreat and gain veterancy on their own.

Terrain that matters

Ramps, cliffs, sight lines, bridges and water decide where battles are won.

Easy to start

Readable icons, in-game hints and three bot difficulties — Easy, Medium and Brutal — let you learn at your own pace.

Factions

Choose your side

White wins with shields, Black with numbers, Grey with tricks nobody sees coming. Each faction has its own buildings, vehicles and superweapons.

White

White

White Alliance

Precision. Protection. Air power.

The high-tech defender. White fights from behind shields and towers, strikes with precise aircraft and long-range artillery, and wins the war of attrition. Its Base Crawler unfolds into a base that grows outward with every completed structure.

  • Lumen Lances, Skylances and the Defense Network
  • Veil Projectors that hide the base from enemy eyes
  • Carriers, Hawks and an elite air arm
  • Superweapons: Orbital Cannon and Time Shield
Black

Black

Black Union

Steel. Numbers. Momentum.

The heavy hammer. Black floods the field with armour, Volt-armed infantry and massive war machines, and grinds every line it reaches. Its MTR lays down the base; its factories never stop.

  • Heavy tanks, siege machines, Volt Troopers and coil stations
  • Stormhulks, flak and a relentless ground army
  • Superweapons: Tempest and Steel Mantle
Grey

Grey

Grey Federation

Mind. Mobility. Deception.

The space-age, biomechanical Federation armed both sides of the war. Its MKA base builds while it drives, Hive Miners bring in the ore, and its psychic weapons control minds and turn the enemy's own units against them.

  • Mobile MKA base and Hive Miners
  • Mind control, the Lodestone and Drift Orbs
  • Superweapons: Abduction and Mercenary Shield, plus the Will Spire and the Gene Forge

Features

Everything a commander needs

Deep systems, clear controls: everything you command on the battlefield.

Base building

Deploy your Base Crawler or MTR and grow inside a radius that expands with every finished structure.

Ore economy

Miners harvest Silver, Gold, Emerald and Ruby, and Diamond fields that slowly regrow in place.

100+ units and buildings

Infantry, tanks, artillery, aircraft, ships, heroes and guard animals, each with its own role and armour.

Superweapons

Orbital Cannon, Tempest, Abduction and more: one of each per player, charging while the power holds.

Spies, engineers and garrisons

Disguise spies, capture buildings with engineers, garrison towns and drop paratroopers behind the lines.

A battlefield with consequences

Buildings rise as they are built and break apart when destroyed. Without power, defenses go silent.

Radar and fog of war

The map stays hidden until you scout it. A powered radar lights up the minimap.

Naval warfare

Warships, carriers, sonar-hunted submarines, hovercraft and coastal batteries on every map.

Skirmish your way

42 maps for 2 to 14 players, three bot levels, ready-made presets or your own match rules.

Online and LAN

Online rooms on the ARENIZ server with no VPN or port forwarding, plus LAN play at home.

45-mission campaign

Forty-five missions tell one cold-war story from the White, Black and Grey sides.

Scales to your PC

Low to Ultra presets, up to 8x anti-aliasing, interface scaling, colour-vision modes and free key binding.

12 languages

Fully playable in English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Hindi.

Ranks, medals and XP

A 30-tier ranked ladder up to Elite, more than 100 medals and XP for every country you play.

Cosmetic skins

Theme collections, legendary effects and commander outfits. Visual only: same unit, same stats.

Commander transmissions

Commanders with painted portraits call you over the radio during missions and battles.

Specialist units

Grey Shell, Spore Mortar, Sky Lasso, flak and coastal batteries, and naval mines guarding the sea lanes.

Built for big battles

Rendering and simulation tuned to keep big online battles with hundreds of units smooth.

Player profiles and honors

Public profiles with ranks, medals, recent matches and honor badges from the ARENIZ team.

Player reports

Report cheating or abuse from a match or a profile; the team reviews each case with the replay.

Formations

Arrange the selected units: choose a formation or toggle Stay in formation.

Formations (command bar, or Ctrl + L line, K column, B box, W wedge, S loose, T group by type) arrange two or more selected units; Ctrl + G keeps the formation on every move.

Line formation Ctrl+L

One wide rank facing the way the group moves.

Column formation Ctrl+K

A narrow file for roads, bridges and gaps.

Box formation Ctrl+B

A compact block with the front rank towards the enemy.

Wedge formation Ctrl+W

An arrowhead: one unit leads, each rank behind is wider.

Loose formation Ctrl+S

Double spacing, so splash damage hits fewer units.

Group by type Ctrl+T

Each unit type in its own block: tanks with tanks, infantry with infantry.

Stay in formation Ctrl+G

On: group moves keep this formation, at the pace of the slowest unit, and face the destination.

No formation Ctrl+J

The units leave their formation and move freely.

Click ×2 / ×3 / ×5 Double-click a unit to select every unit of its type on screen, click three times for those nearby, five times for all of them on the map.

Matchmaking & clans

Fair matches, with your friends

Quick Match, parties, two ranked queues and clans with clan wars.

A world first: clans own the maps

Every battlefield in ARENIZ belongs to a clan. The world map is made of the game's own maps, and each one has a real owner: when you play a map online the lobby shows who holds it - "Owner: [TAG] Clan". Clans claim maps, attack their neighbours and defend their land in clan wars; a new map joins the world as new land to fight for.

Quick Match with rank matching

Rank matching on: Quick Match pairs you with players of your own rank band and widens the search while you wait. Off: any rank, fastest match.

Parties

Play together with a party code. A party is matched by the rank band of its highest-ranked member, so a strong friend brings strong opponents.

Ranked

Ranked matches allow elite units. Rank-based matchmaking, higher in-match costs, live limits and the mid-game tech requirement keep them fair.

Classic Ranked

A separate ranked queue without elite units: every player fields the standard roster of their country.

Clans

Create a clan with its own clan prefix, invite members and climb together. Creating a clan costs 1500 gold or one clan coupon.

Clan wars

Clan wars are fought online: a party from your clan searches for an opposing clan. Clan medals reward the winners and the clan war MVP.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is ARENIZ free?

Yes. ARENIZ is free to download and play: the 45-mission campaign, skirmish against bots and online multiplayer. Gold is optional and is used in the in-game store for elite units, faster progress, rentals, skins and clans.

Which platforms is ARENIZ on?

Windows (10 or 11, 64-bit) and macOS. Download the full installer in the Download section; after that, updates arrive inside the game.

Do I need an account?

Yes. A free ZOGOR GAMES account (Google, Apple, Facebook, X or e-mail) is needed to start the game; it keeps your profile and friends list. You can delete it at any time.

Can I play alone?

Yes. Play the 45-mission campaign, or a skirmish against bots on Easy, Medium or Brutal. After you have signed in once, single-player keeps working for a while without an internet connection.

How many players can play together?

From 2 to 14, depending on the map: AIAS (2), HEKATE (3), KRONOS (4), HYDRA (6), ARGOS (8), OLYMPOS (12) and TARTAROS (14). Empty seats can be filled with bots.

Do I need port forwarding or a VPN to play online?

No. Internet matches run through the ARENIZ room server: create a room or join one from the list. For games at home, use the LAN tab.

How do updates work?

ARENIZ keeps itself up to date: when you start the game, it checks for a new version and installs it before you play. A match is never interrupted.

What is the Short Game rule?

A match setting for faster games, on by default: a player is defeated as soon as they have no buildings left, even if some units survive.

Which graphics settings are there?

Low, Medium, High and Ultra presets, or your own mix: shadows, anti-aliasing up to 8x, 3D render scale, frame-rate limit, VSync, interface and text scale, plus colour-vision modes.

Which languages are available?

Twelve: English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Hindi.

I found a bug. Where do I report it?

On our bug tracker — you can follow the status of every report there. The list of fixed bugs shows what changed in each version.

How do I delete my account?

In the game under Friends → Account, or on our account deletion page — for every sign-in method.

What are elite units ★?

Stronger special units: five per country in a three-tier tech tree. You unlock them with experience points from your matches or with gold, or rent them for 24 hours or 3 matches. In battle they cost more, have live limits and need mid-game technology, and Classic Ranked is a queue without elites.

Do skins change gameplay?

No. Skins only change how a unit looks. Stats, hit areas and team colours stay the same.

Can I buy gold on this website?

Yes. Sign in with your ZOGOR GAMES account and buy gold in the Store here, or in the game. Payments go through our payment partner's secure checkout; ARENIZ never stores card details.
