Like in other RTS games, the player must expend resources to construct buildings and recruit units to fight the enemy, while maintaining an economy, progressing through a build tree, and researching upgrades. A "City Control" percentage option may be enabled, in which the winner of the battle goes to the first side/team to capture a set percentage of cities on the map. The primary objective of gameplay is to destroy all opposing enemy military forces, though some campaigns and maps require other objectives to be completed, such as capturing certain cities, escorting a caravan, or defending a specific area. Gameplay is played mainly in the real-time strategy genre, though turn-based strategy is used in WWII mode.
The player battles against other generals in one of three game modes: World War II, custom game, and campaign mode. Particularly noteworthy are the most expensive Special Operations, which include large damaging area of effect abilities such as carpet bombing, kamikazes, V-weapons, and nuclear bombs. Four generals exist for each nation, with each general having access to unique Special Operation abilities, such as summoning fake tanks, deploying a secret agent, or giving an area buff to friendly units. Each nation has access to its own unique military units, such as snipers for the Soviets, flamethrower tanks for the British, and King Tiger tanks for the Germans. In Axis & Allies, the player assumes the role of a military general of one of the five superpowers of World War II : the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Soviet Union, and Japan. Axis & Allies: Collector's Edition was released as a new name for the game on Augby Encore Software. The game was met with positive reception, although some reviewers claimed the game fell short in terms of AI mechanics and in an overemphasis on base management.
The game is TimeGate's best-selling game release, upon the company's closure in 2013.
The player is able to rewrite and recreate the history of World War II. Set in the years after Japan and the United States entered into the war, the game allows the player to act as a World War II commander to build military forces to fight against other generals, using military units and technologies from the war. It is based on the board game series Axis & Allies from Milton Bradley and also on TimeGate's Kohan series. The game was released on November 2, 2004. Axis & Allies is a real-time strategy World War II video game developed by TimeGate Studios and published by Atari, Inc.
