Field Commander is the first turn-based war game for the PSP set in the modern era. It is often compared to Advance Wars games on the Nintendo Gameboy Systems. The player takes on the persona of a new recruit to ATLAS, a world alliance of military technology and expertise. The player battles Shadow Nation, a crime empire, on various missions.
The game has some differences from Advance Wars, including many multiplayer modes which were not part of Advanced Wars. The multiplayer options include Infastructure, Ad-Hoc, Hot Swap, and a unique feature called Transmission mode, which is somewhat similar to the "Play By Email" system of older PC games. While playing in Transmission mode each player takes turns and sends them off to the server.
