Telling the story of the North African campaigns of World War II from both Axis' and Allies' side, Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps is Real-Time Tactical game in full 3D boosting single- and multiplayer mode. Uniquely, the game combines narrative-based missions with the real-time strategy genre.

Each mission starts with a briefing and a recap of the historical background to the ensuing battle. More than 30 units can be allocated to each side, selected in the army management system.
