Live Hard, Die Hard Is an Indie RTS Title with RPG and Sim Elements, Out Now

Live Hard, Die Hard is a new game on Android. It brings a Battle x Medical Counter-Invasion real-time strategy, dropping players into the year 20XX. It’s when humanity is pushed to the edge of extinction following a sudden extraterrestrial assault.

Live Hard, Die Hard is full of chaos!

A desperate alien counter-invasion brings difficult decisions with it. The last remaining option is a direct strike on the enemy’s central command, known as the Terminal Core. To do that, you step into the role of a special forces commander leading the final charge.

The structure is split across two distinct but interconnected segments. The upper portion of the screen handles the frontline, where soldiers automatically advance and engage alien forces in nonstop real-time combat.

While troops fight on their own, the outcome hinges on player input. Decisions about when to call retreats, when to deploy reinforcements, how to unleash skills, and how to time artillery or air support determine your success.

The lower screen houses both the R&D department and the hospital. Wounded personnel are evacuated for treatment, but every injury affects overall capacity. Researching alien biology by dissecting captured specimens gradually unlocks advantages.

Live Hard, Die Hard gives you only four weeks to assemble and shape an elite strike force capable of reaching the Terminal Core. And there’s a stress management layer as well. Soldiers are not only at risk of death but also of psychological fatigue from constant fighting.
