How to play Battle Storm on Mac

Game summary

The game allows players to do combat strategies with tanks, airplanes, military bases, and non-nuclear missiles. These advanced weapons allow players to stage a fictional World War III and to simulate modern warfare. Players can assume the persona of various clichéd Hollywood action film stars like Rambo, Chuck Norris, Eddie Murphy, Bruce Lee, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stages include a jungle, forest, the swamp, and urban terrain. The player must choose a tank with his or her directional pad. Once there, the player must decide either to move a unit or destroy the enemy on sight. Destroyed units can be rebuilt for money and the first person to run out of cash loses the war. Both players can enjoying the fun and games with more $250 million of virtual game currency to spend on cool military toys to fire at each other.

Play Battle Storm on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Battle Storm on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Battle Storm installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
