Earth was never being invaded. It was being contested.
For thousands of years, humanity has looked toward the stars asking a single question: Are we alone? ARB begins with a different one:
What if they were all real?
Inspired by one of the most unusual alien-contact compendiums ever assembled, ARB: Alien Races Battle is a competitive lane-based strategy auto-battler where the civilizations of the galaxy fight not for survival—but for Earth itself. Some have come to harvest humanity. Others seek to reclaim what they believe is theirs. Some have protected us from the shadows for millennia. And a few remain so strange that even the other races barely understand them.
You won’t be micromanaging units once the battle begins. Instead, you’ll outthink your opponent before the first shot is fired. Expand your economy, unlock increasingly powerful technologies, recruit from dozens of unique alien races, discover devastating synergies, counter your opponent’s composition, and position your army to seize control of the battlefield. Every fifteen seconds another wave marches forward, and once the fighting starts, your planning—and only your planning—determines the outcome.
Zero micro. Decisions only.
ARB rewards strategy over speed. Every match becomes a constant balancing act between greed and survival. Invest too heavily in your economy and you may never recover from an early assault. Build an unstoppable army too soon and your opponent may simply outscale you. Battlefield control generates additional resources, creating a tug-of-war where momentum can shift in an instant and one clever adaptation can completely change the course of a match.
Command one of five distinct factions, each pursuing its own vision for Earth’s future.
Lead the manipulative Draco, masters of infiltration and blood-fueled aggression.
Unleash the parasitic horrors of the Maitre, whose armies multiply as they consume their enemies.
Herald the return of the ancient Anunnaki, creators, conquerors, and gods reborn beneath the approach of Nibiru. Stand beside
The Council, guardians who have quietly defended humanity throughout recorded history.
Or embrace The Unseen, enigmatic observers whose motives remain hidden even from the galaxy itself.
Across these factions you’ll recruit from 62 unique alien races, each bringing its own mechanics, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and battlefield identity.
No two armies are ever the same. Powerful doctrines, evolving technology tiers, specialized armor types, attack interactions, transformative upgrades, and nearly one hundred unique abilities combine to create an enormous strategic sandbox where experimentation is constantly rewarded. There is no single dominant strategy—only players willing to adapt faster than their opponents.
Whether you’re climbing the ranked ladder in intense 1v1 duels, coordinating massive 3v3 battles with friends, drafting armies on the fly, surviving endless assaults from The Swarm, or embracing the unpredictable modifiers of Social Mode, every game asks you to solve a different strategic puzzle. Victory belongs to the commander who understands not only their own army, but the intentions of everyone sharing the battlefield.
Beneath the strategy lies a universe waiting to be explored. Discover the history of every faction through an expanding Codex. Study dozens of alien civilizations. Chart distant star systems. Follow the transmissions of Dante Santori as he pieces together humanity’s place within an ancient galactic conflict. Whether you believe these races are science fiction, forgotten mythology, conspiracy lore, or something in between is entirely up to you. ARB simply asks one question:
If they were real… who would you fight for?
ARB enters Early Access with fully playable competitive multiplayer, cooperative Survival Mode, cross-platform support, Steam achievements, trading cards, an original soundtrack, and a roadmap focused on expanding both the competitive experience and the universe surrounding it. Great multiplayer games aren’t built by developers alone—they’re shaped by the communities that play them.
The battlefield is ready.
Choose your faction.
Command your army.
Control the lane.
And decide the future of Earth.
