A turn-based WWII tactical strategy game about survival behind enemy lines.

Overview

Regroup is a single-player, turn-based tactical strategy game set during World War II. You command a small squad of U.S. paratroopers dropped deep into occupied France after the D-Day landings.

Cut off from friendly forces, your squad must fight its way through hostile territory, surviving desperate engagements, managing limited supplies, and making difficult decisions that determine who lives and who does not.

• Branching paths leading to different final missions.

Development

This game was developed as an academic thesis project using the Unity engine. The primary goal of the project was to apply proper software engineering principles, including modular system design, state persistence, scalability, and maintainability, within the context of a complete and playable game.

The project places strong emphasis on clean architecture, reusable systems, and clear separation of gameplay layers such as campaign logic, tactical combat, artificial intelligence, and user interface.
