Overview

Welcome! Our game is called Battle School, and it is based on the novel Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Battle School is a top-down action/strategy game that can be played over a network by two players. Each player takes control of a team of military trainees and guides them to victory in various futuristic games and competitions. To familiarize trainees with weightlessness, all games take place in a special zero gravity room. The very fate of the world may depend on the outcome of these competitions, so download today!
