  • Graphics Card that supourts OpenGL
  • Administrative Rights on your computer (Except for Win XP)
  • 1,500 MB open space on your Hard Drive

PLEASE NOTE that this is not perfect, I run double the requirements listed above and only get 10 FPS when playing BN. If you want a perfect experience then you'll need to wait for BN to be released on Steam, or be lucky enough that this loves your computer.

You will now be sent to the Google Play store, accept the Terms of Service and search for "Battle Nations" once again.

BN Install

After searching for "Battle Nations" it should appear at the top of the list, click on that and you will go to the BN store page. Click "Install" over to the right and exactly that will happen. After that click "Install" again, then click "Proceed". BN will start downloading, after it finishes there will be an "Open" button, I think you should click it. After BN loads up, the intro will start, you can skip the video (which is broken) by clicking the button in the lower right. After the intro and you are at your outpost, click the Guest Icon in the upper left corner to sign into your account.
