Armative Studios launches Steel Aces on Kickstarter
Steel Aces is live on Kickstarter today - a free-to-play MMO tank shooter built to put players first. If you’re fed up with grindy paywalls and “pay-to-win” shortcuts, this is a project staking its reputation on fair progression and competitive integrity.
What is it?
Steel Aces blends large-scale PvP operations and competitive play. Unlock paths and “collector” vehicles are designed so skill and strategy decide outcomes - fair by default, not fair by exception.

Authenticity first
Vehicles are being built with historical references and expert input. Recent dev updates highlight iconic machines - from IS-series heavyweights to a late-production T-72A, underscoring the team’s focus on realistic looks, handling and armour profiles. Expect detail tank fans will recognise.

Who’s making it?
Armative Studios is a distributed team with development rooted in the German-speaking region (Germany and Austria). The studio’s engineering-led approach underpins its authenticity first take on the genre.
Why back now?
- Help shape balance and systems as the game moves towards broader public testing.
- Signal demand for a genuinely fair F2P alternative.
- Support deeper historical vehicle modelling and museum collaborations.
- Give the project the runway it needs to deliver at scale.
