5 Stars - Great game! Fun RTS and should be a must download. .99 is a steal for this!

This is the followup to Pirates! Showdown, the game that PocketGamer called "rather masterful" and Digital Trends named as one of the top 3 tablet games!


Face off against the enemy in thrilling head-to-head battles!  Capture factories, bunkers, mortars, and much more to increase your resource supply and strengthen your 

defenses.  Capture your enemy's base to win, but make sure you are also defending your own base!   93 campaign levels across fields, deserts, frozen tundra, and rocky terrain in 4 campaigns, plus an infinite number of randomly generated maps in skirmish mode!


STREAMLINED RTS DESIGNED FOR MOBILES!
Fast paced RTS gameplay without complicated resource management or cumbersome controls.  Units will advance and attack on their own or you can take control and direct them

MANY UNIT TYPES!
Infantry units, helicopters, tanks and more.  Each has unique weapons or abilities such as the sniper who can attack long range and the grenadier who can toss grenades over walls.  Use the right units to win!

CAPTURE!
Factories, power plants, and even forgotten treasure chests supply you with resources.  Turrets and mortars will attack the enemy.  Capture satellite dishes to improve your local units attack ability and more!

UPGRADE!
Upgrade factories to increase resource production.  Upgrade turrets to increase their firepower.  Upgrade satellite dishes to increase their effect range.  Etc.

STRATEGY!
Will you aggressively capture factories to supply your troops or invest in the factories you have to increase their production?  Wage a war with squads of infantry, send a squadron of attack choppers, or play a defensive battle holding your ground and build up your supply chain?

93 UNIQUE LEVELS IN FOUR CAMPAIGNS!
Pursue the enemy across fields, deserts, frozen tundra, and rocky terrain.  Once you beat all four campaigns there are still randomly generated levels awaiting in skirmish mode.

ADJUSTABLE AI DIFFICULTY!

### 1/5 — What junk.

*2022-11-03, version 1.2.2*

Good for a 9-year old! You can’t even zoom. Not challenging, very monotonous. Deleted. Thank goodness it was only 99 cents. Aplenty priced.

Great for people that like tactical war mmo's

### 3/5 — Need improvements

*2014-06-18, version 1.0.8*

Upgrades of units using battle points would be a better option than unlocks of them since it helps players to spend the same old money but get more experienced units. This is to pay for players' efforts, so please seriously consider this suggestion.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2014-05-20, version 1.0.7*

Awesome that you can tell units where/who to attack. Wish you could up grade units. Many many hours of fun!!

Outstanding options, upgrades, and fun.

*2014-05-17, version 1.0.6*

I played this game on my tablet and couldn't put it down until the entire campaign was beaten. Now my brothers play it on their devices. It works fine for them. Please add multiplayer for 2-4 players!

### 1/5 — Broken Game

*2014-05-16, version 1.0.6*
