Operative Division brings a combination of strategy and third-person shooting to Android

• Command armies and seamlessly switch to direct third-person combat
• Lead one of two factions with unique units, abilities, and superweapons
• Includes a full campaign and dynamic skirmish battles

After more than three years in development, Operative Division has arrived on Android, delivering a bold blend of real-time strategy and third-person shooter action. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where two rival factions battle for humanity’s future, it’s a hybrid game that allows you to build bases, command armies, and then drop directly into combat to turn the tide yourself.

What sets Operative Division apart is its fusion of two genres rarely seen together. It combines real-time strategy with third-person shooter combat, enabling you to switch seamlessly between commanding armies from above and jumping directly into the fight. You’re not just building bases and issuing orders; you’re also pulling the trigger when things get chaotic.

As mentioned, the setting is dystopian, with two ideologically opposed factions at war. The EvoPref Corporation relies on heavy armor and devastating firepower, while the LibeGaia Revolution emphasizes speed, versatility, and hacking abilities. The conflict isn’t just about controlling territory but about humanity’s future: salvation through technology or survival through evolution.

The campaign spans 42 missions, supported by a Skirmish mode where dynamic maps keep every match unpredictable. Superweapons like the Orbital Ion Cannon and Nuclear Missile add to the chaos, dramatically shifting battles with effects that linger on the battlefield. Meanwhile, limited ammo and fuel mean you’ll need to manage resources carefully if you want to outlast your enemies.

Customization and progression also play a key role. Commander vehicles can be upgraded with boosts to armor, firepower, and speed, while regular units earn ranks and improve their stats mid-battle. The strategy-shooter even adds small but tactical details like subsystem targeting, destructible hazards, and day-night cycles that affect visibility.

And the best part is that it's offline and features no ads or microtransactions. Just spend $7.99, and Operative Division is all yours.
