## What is Back Wars HD?

Enjoy the best view of the battlefield with this special high-resolution version for tablets!

When an army travels back in time to rule the world 1,000 years in advance, they get more than they bargained for from their primitive counterparts! Lead the resistance with hundreds of warriors from different cultures all over the world. Focus on one individual or step back to command an entire army at your fingertips. Combining world-dominating strategy with fully interactive battles, this game offers the best of both worlds! And just when you think it's over, history might just repeat itself...

UPGRADES
The game is mostly free to play, but you can upgrade to take control of your experience - choosing which side and how much territory to start with. You can also blow off steam with fantasy battles between any 2 cultures - and as many warriors as your device can handle! For what it's worth, you can also edit every character in the world - but please note that this game uses up to 1,000 of them that are regularly replaced.

CONTROLS
When controlling a specific character, this game offers either the "Classic" 1-handed control system or "Dual Wield" where each hand is controlled separately. If you are not already familiar with these from previous games in the series, you can pause the action at any time by hitting the dateline and then study the "Controls" guide. Also look out for in-game hints from scrolls or books that you can read.

In this game, you can change which member of the team you are controlling at any time by either tapping the health meter or literally pointing to them on the battlefield. By tapping the arrows at the bottom of the screen, you can also activate "Commander" mode where you step back and direct any active member of your team by simply swiping from their location to another. Whether you intend them to relocate, fight an enemy, or pick up an object, they will try to make sense of your instructions. But please bear in mind that they can only do so at their convenience and may have other priorities!

Whatever device or control method you are using, you can always zoom in or out by pinching at the centre of the screen.

MAP
The main "Campaign" game mode requires you to increase your territory by moving units from one area to any connected one. You can either "fortify" an existing territory or attempt to seize a rival territory. Note that only 50% of the units in a territory will be available to travel - which necessarily makes it harder to invade than it is to defend.

The population of any inhabited territory may grow after each round, so it is important to control as many as possible. Notice that units will also gradually heal over time, so it is a good idea to work with different locations each turn.

PERFORMANCE
Please note that this is the largest scale game I have made yet, and may require a high-end device to run at 100%. Consider keeping the "Population" low to reduce the number of characters on screen, or tone down other features in the "Display" options.

I regret there is more to this game than I could ever explain here, so I hope you enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!

### 1/5 — Worst Mdickie Game Out

*2025-01-12, version 1.0.7*

2d so trash aim, ai is buffed up, if you get put down you stay down for like an hour, etc etc just get hard time III

### 2/5 — This makes no sense!

*2024-02-10*

MDickie is a great game developer, but this is not one of his best. The main problem I have is that a character from the past gets shot once and can’t get off the ground, but a character from the present can get shot 20 times and just get up like nothing happened, please explain how that makes any sense!!

### 5/5 — Hoping for back wars 2

*2023-09-25*

Noticed you updated other older games of yours what’s the chance we could get a persistent team template or saveable team option rather than getting factory reset each play through also getting a both gender option for past since you already have the turncoats with special outfits in past as it’s the only faction without both genders on random spawns until it clones a turn coat at least I tried every game of yours apart that wheel fortune game not installable this one was a gold mine of entertainment after I shut off hostile animals leaving just the horses which sometimes I still feed bbq to the troops when I snapped I will look like a villain if you read this before seeing for yourself but that’s ok I served the villains well in super city for my first day of gameplay when I thought I was still a good guy but truly this game was a gold mine of entertainment I know I ran 15 to 20 world dominations before I slowed down I honestly believe if you made this in the empire engine successfully you would have your choice of company president status for back wars 3 because no one makes games like you do from the trolling the player to the loyalty friendships or betrayal each npc is in a lot of ways like a lobby of real players unlike other games I actually do get affected when personalities display during key moments

### 1/5 — It’s so bad don’t get this

*2023-08-12, version 1.0.7*

It’s such a bad game please fix this before I destroy my device and buy a new one.

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2021-10-03, version 1.0.7*

But plz update it more plz

### 2/5 — Stupid gunnnns

*2020-12-01*

This game is great don’t get be wrong but when you are a army with bones as a way of fighting and going up against a team of people with full machine guns it just does feel fun. The guns ruin the game so much because which ever side has them always wins no matter what. Guns don’t not go well with this game or the other weapons in the game and are completely overpowered and require a nerf. The way I like to play this game is taking my army into awesome battles and extremely bloody ones which happens sometimes while I am playing. But once one of the enemy has a machine gun than it’s all over the fun is gone since they just keep spamming and just gets boring it would be cool if you guys removed the guns and added more Melee weapons.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2020-11-24, version 1.0.7*

The game lags out a bunch has too many ads if your character gets knocked over the enemy team will beat you to death whilst your teammates stand and watch and it is very hard to keep track of your character in the overfilled maps

### 1/5 — Fix this!

*2020-11-19, version 1.0.7*

The game would be a lot better if I could have the same aiming privileges the cpu has. Some of the cpu players don’t even align themselves to be able to hit me, but they somehow defy that and can hit you at any angle. 

Another thing that really annoys me is if you are occupying certain countries on the map and say an enemy cpu want to move some of their teams across to their occupied country, by the devs rules you aren’t allowed to move bodies across an occupied country but the cpu has the privilege of doing so. Cpu seem like damage sponges and seem a lot stronger than the people from the past. 

Whether this was all intentional or not I don’t know but all these flaws stated above really hold the game back. Also, the ads run too long as well being played very frequently.

### 5/5 — A new idea

*2020-11-01*

I really like this game but if you made a new game with two teams such as the premise of this one but make it open world such as your other games i feel like that would be a very good idea for one of yalls new new games

### 5/5 — There are no problems

*2020-10-25*

I am glad but these people that wrote a review are gonna make it worse and I like it the way it is. You can just run over to the present and steal the guns. I put it on 5v5s. The future has jet packs and that is better. I know these people played it for their first time.
