Gangs of Asia, a unique melee and real-time strategy hybrid launches May 5th onto Steam

From Press Release:

MicroProse is excited to announce that Gangs of Asia, a fast-paced hybrid of skill-based melee combat and real-time strategy, will launch on May 5 on Steam.

Blending the immediacy of a brawler with the tactical depth of an RTS, Gangs of Asia puts players directly into the action as powerful gang leaders fighting for control across vibrant, stylized city districts inspired by East Asian culture. Every match is a dynamic clash of personal skill, unit control, and battlefield awareness, where players must both outfight and outthink their opponents.

At the center of the experience is a unique dual-layer gameplay system: players control their own character in real-time, engaging in visceral, timing-based combat, while simultaneously capturing buildings, managing resources, and deploying units to dominate the map. The result is a fast, unpredictable gameplay loop where every decision matters and every fight can turn the tide.

With a strong focus on multiplayer mayhem, personality-driven factions, and emergent chaos, Gangs of Asia delivers matches that are easy to pick up, but packed with depth for those who master its systems.
