This shot changes the next turn, too.
Read the wind, choose your angle, and set the power. A hit can hurt the enemy, blast through cover, and reshape the ground beneath your squad. The safe spot you found this turn might be a problem on the next.One shared arsenal. Your choice of tactics.
Every soldier can use all the weapons owned by their team. Bring firepower to bear, carve a route with engineering tools, or use movement equipment to find a better position. Choose when to attack, when to make a path, and when to leave yourself a way out.Campaign in Action

6202: humanity exits. Meerkats take the stage.
It is the year 6202. Humanity is extinct. AI once took over the human world, and vast radioactive clouds brought civilization on the surface crashing down. Meerkats surviving near the burrows gradually developed intelligence and began learning from the knowledge humanity left behind.They inherited human knowledge—and some very bad habits. Burrow War takes a straight-faced, darkly comic look at war and its absurd machinery. Five factions bring different abilities, while soldiers share the same base attributes and general-purpose weapons. You can plan carefully. The explosions may have other ideas.
In this meerkat world, who wouldn’t want to blast their rivals sky-high and declare themselves supreme commander of the world?
Go solo, or bring your friends to the battlefield.
Practice your artillery skills in offline single-player campaigns and skirmishes, or face friends in turn-based battles. Every shot means thinking about your opponent's next move. Every friendly-fire mishap could become a story before the next match.Build the next battlefield yourself.
Import PNG images, create terrain, and playtest it in the Windows map editor. From the first piece of cover to the last escape route, turn your ideas into the ground your squads will fight over.An idea? A bug? A gloriously strange weapon?
Burrow War is made by Burrow Team, a small indie team of three people who love games.

If something hurts or offends you, please tell us.
We still have much to learn about cultures, histories, and ways of expression around the world. If any text, imagery, audio, or other content in the game makes you feel offended or hurt, or seems culturally misjudged, please let us know as soon as you can. Sharing the specific passage or scene, the language, and why it troubles you will help us understand, investigate, and consider improvements. Our dark humor takes aim at war and its absurd machinery, and we take players’ feelings seriously.What do we want to work on through Early Access?
We plan to bring Burrow War to Early Access and keep refining it with player feedback. Our plans include server-based online play for more reliable, convenient remote matches; improving voice quality and delivery, while exploring human voice acting; refining the soundtrack, music loops, transitions, and mix; and continuing to fix bugs, balance weapons, and improve localization and cultural expression.These are development plans. Server-based online play and the audio upgrades still need development and testing and should not be treated as features already provided. Their scope and timing may change with development progress, test results, and player feedback. We plan to share progress and make clear what is available and what is still being made.
We also plan to add animated story scenes made using AI-generated video. The scope and release timing will depend on production and testing progress.
