This game is brought to you by Noumena Innovations for $0.99. This is a huge drop from its original price, which is $4.99. The characters may be tiny and cute, but don’t underestimate them as this app can compete with the hardcore strategy games.
The Gameplay
Create your own military base and make it strong to defend against enemies, as well as attack and conquer their bases. Aside from the computer, you can play with other players from different places. The good thing about this game is that though this is an online game, you can build your base even when you are offline. So when you go live and face some battles, you are ready for the victory.
When you start the app, an aide will appear to show you the basic controls of the game. Once you learn about them, it will be easy for you to develop a strategy that will work for your base. Aside from battling with other players, there are different missions that you can complete on the game, which will earn you some rewards. A mission icon, which is a notepad icon, will show on the upper left corner of the window if there is an available mission to do. Tap on it to check the task list. The first task that will be given to you is to collection rations. A description and instructions on how to perform the task will be provided on the right side of the task window. Once done, tap the mission icon once more to claim your rewards. Recruit commanders and troops for your battles and for defending your base. Place buildings strategically to expand your place. You may also team up with other players so you can conquer other bases together.
Commander and Military
The commander and the military are the people that you will send on battles. They are also the ones that would protect your base. There are three commanders that you can choose from. Though you can recruit the three commanders if you meet the requirements, it’s best to recruit one commander first and make it level up to become stronger before recruiting another one.
These commanders have varying attributes like attack, HP, intelligence and speed. There are more choices for the army list. Select the troop that you would like to train. This includes rifleman, missile defender, tankette, medium tank, heavy tank, jeep and self-propelled gun. They also have different attributes and type, and they beat specific military troops. For instance, a tankette is armor type and it can beat mobile types. A medium tank is ballistic type and it can beat armors. Before attacking another base, check what type of army it has so you would know which troops to send.
The Verdict
Because the game has several upgrades and there are different players that you can play with, you will find yourself hooked on this app. Winning is addicting so it will be hard to put it down, especially when you conquer your first base. The graphics are cute and clear and the sounds add life to the game play.
