Pathway to Glory is a squad-based tactical combat game set in the second World War. The game is semi-turn-based, meaning that both sides play their turns one by one as their action points allow, but all players on one side can move all their units simultaneously.

The player can equip the soldiers as he wishes, and in addition there are vehicles and turrets that can be captured and used.

The game has a single-player campaign and a multiplayer mode that can be played locally over a Bluetooth connection or globally in the Nokia N-Gage Arena via a GPRS connection.
