You will fight from 1914 to 1918 on the Western Front and Eastern Front. You will land on the beaches at Gallipoli, desperately hold or seize the important city of Verdun and try to achieve a breakthrough on the Somme.

STRATEGY AND TACTICS:
Use the terrain to your advantage: Keep vulnerable units behind ridges or hide them in the trees. Protect vital mountain passes, river crossings, towns and forts.

Will you push your troops forward and seize the initiative? Or will you set up a defensive line, await reinforcements and let the enemy come to you?

These and many more questions you will need to ask yourself. There are many ways to win the game.

Ratings and reviews

It's the best mobile turn-based strategy I've played in quite a while! Aesthetically, many of the maps are far too green. If possible, it would be nice if the land tiles were less verdant, or degraded with conflict or bombardment. It would also be good if trees could be reduced by artillery, as was a common sight on WWI battlefields. EDIT: I appreciate the reply! Just noticed that it's only 28 MB. Impressive!

I have been looking for a decent mobile strategy game for years, this is the first. More than decent, it's great. Affordable and takes up very little space on your phone but there is a surprising amount of content here, especially with the add-ons, which are very cheap. There is enough depth for it to be engaging but it isn't an overwhelming slog either. I look forward to seeing this developer continue to expand to new time periods.

I would say this is probably the best RTS game I've played in a while with more of a retro style. Nice pixel artwork, many units at disposal, and realistic battles. A very good game to play if you want to pass time or even just enjoy the nostalgia of a pixel based game. Overall I can say that I really enjoy it and even plan to get other games like this. Also cheers to the dev for making games like this and bringing a game that us strategic players want to play.
