## What is Border Wars?

Commander, you are needed to take control of your soldiers in the new army games. You are able to command troops ranging from pistol wielding units to snipers, tanks, machinegun jeeps and artillery. Inspired from some of the best military games on mobile which will challenge your skills in battle simulator.

Players of battle simulator and military games will love the trench warfare like style of each mission with warpips like strategy games.  You can deploy your troops like trench battles but also manage money like classic RTS games. The gameplay is styled to play like ww2 and ww3 strategy games with trench warfare like mechanics.

Fight on the borders of your country in a battle simulator of infantry units. Or command missions in the forests and fields of your country with trench defense. You must protect your home from the enemy in battles that take place in the harsh weather of the desert and finally you must command your troops in tank games where large tank battles take place in the city.

The goal of each mission in the military games is to destroy the enemy base or survive until reinforcements arrive. To win you will need to manage your money carefully and perform strategic advancement to win all the campaign missions. Mini warriors can be called to the battlefield by pressing their button from the soldier panel. Money is earned by killing enemy soldiers. Make careful use of tanks and artillery to win the battlefield. At the end you will have to fight the enemy general and defeat him by destroying the boss tank.

A lot of work and effort was put in developing this project so that it can be enjoyed and played like classic ww2 games and modern ww3 games combined. The gameplay of both these military games combined makes this a fun and one of the more challenging campaign games. I hope you will enjoy playing this and if you do please leave feedback here as it encourages me to add even more campaign missions to the game.

### 5/5 — Tuff game

*2026-08-13, version 14.2*

It’s offline

### 5/5 — Hi

*2026-08-04, version 14.2*

Good game

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2026-06-28, version 14.2*

Great job, great game. I love these types of games, please make more.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-05, version 14.2*

this is not a scam like others

### 4/5 — Border wars

*2026-05-19, version 14.2*

Basically sending guys out and trying to overwhelm the enemy. Haven’t got enough for much more than four basic  infantry yet. I don’t like the fpv. At one point I’m viewing from below the ground level. I don’t know if you can control your team or if they’re just ‘let the dogs out!’

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2026-04-22, version 14.2*

I also played battle empire which is why I started playing this. I enjoy both, keep up the good work

### 3/5 — Ads

*2026-03-26, version 14.2*

Game is ad riddled, should do better when it comes to that. So much self promotion and also ads that you’re forced to watch.

### 5/5 — Optimaal mission placement

*2026-03-07, version 14.2*

I EXTREMELY like the this game, but there’s a problem:
I don’t know what missions where you left off on, so as a little help put numbers on the of tiles on the maps, that you can see on what missions you were on.

### 5/5 — This game the best

*2026-02-22, version 14.2*

Great troops, missions, great for planning but can
 you add some more troops it soo fun

### 3/5 — Kinda fun but a few major glitches

*2026-02-03, version 14.2*

I like the art style and generally like the gameplay, but sometimes when I’m controlling a character and move him in range of enemies, he won’t shoot them. There’s no manual fire button, so this is very annoying. In addition, the enemy bases in higher levels have wayyyy too much health. I was only 10 or so missions deep in the starter campaign and I was barely scratching the enemy tent with a light tank.
