From the depths of the stone age to space wars of the future, walk all the way of the evolution of mankind and defeat the enemies in the new game, “The Wars 2 Evolution”. At the first glance, the idea of the game is simple and trivial – to destroy the enemy’s base. But it may not be as easy as it seems. To successfully accomplish the mission, you must think as a military strategist. Choose your game tactics at each level and age. And only the right balance between defense and attack will give you a chance to win. Engage super weapons and gain a tactical advantage over the enemy. Destroy the enemy’s units and wipe the enemy’s base. For that, you will gain the knowledge for studying units and buildings of the next age. The gold obtained along the course of the game can be spent on valiant soldiers who would not let you down in battle and on weapons for defending your base. The faster you gather all the knowledge and move on to the next age, the better are your chances to be the first who delivers the crushing blow to the enemy. But hurry up, the enemy is not standing still either and is preparing an insidious plan to wipe your base. Remember, each age has its unique attack units, defense weapons and special weapons of mass destruction, using which you can cause a significant damage to the enemy. Complete all nine levels of the game to become a “Master of War”.

Wavefront is a fast, colorful tower defense game. Line your towers along the path, upgrade them mid-battle, and hold every wave of monsters before they reach your base — across 5 worlds and 100 levels. Place smart, upgrade at the right moment, and read each wave. Easy to pick up, tuned for short sessions, deep enough to chase a 3-star run on every level. WHAT YOU DO Pick your loadout, place towers along the road, and upgrade them while the wave is still coming. Every level ends with a damage report telling you which weapon actually carried it — so your next loadout is a decision, not a guess. TOWERS • Gun, Rapid and Sniper for ground waves • Frost slows everything it hits • Cannon splashes damage across a group • Flak is the only thing that can touch flyers • Farm prints money instead of bullets • Laser exists for one job: bosses PROGRESSION THAT KEEPS GOING Earn gold in battle and spend it in the Armory on permanent upgrades. Max a weapon out and Mastery takes over — an uncapped track that keeps adding damage for as long as you keep investing. 5 WORLDS, 100 LEVELS Forest, Desert, Winter, City and Space, each with its own 25-strong monster roster: critters, vehicles, jetpack aliens, air bosses and ground bosses. Roads fork, cross and run in pairs, so the same tactics do not work everywhere. SURVIVE An endless hell arena. No level to clear — just how long you can hold, with your time on a global leaderboard. SPELLS AND COMMANDERS Call down a meteor, freeze the field, cash in mid-wave, or EMP the flyers. Pick a commander for a run-long bonus. ALSO • Play offline — no connection needed • Daily quests, achievements and a monster collection • 1-3 stars per level, feeding a global star leaderboard • Seven languages
