ARC WARs
Read full descriptionHide full description
Planets never stand still. Read the orbit, time the arrival, send the fleet. ARC WARs is a 1v1 space strategy game where you predict the orbits of moving planets and launch fleets to intercept them. You don't aim at where a planet is — you aim at where it will be when your ships arrive. One drag draws the course; the battlefield tells you whether your prediction was right. CORE PLAY • Drag to launch — orbit and trajectory prediction lines update in real time • Capture and produce — captured planets build fleets and extend your front • Fleet ratio slider — decide every moment whether to commit all or part • Battle speed control — pause, 0.5×, 1×, 2× THE ACADEMY • Symmetric battlefields regenerated every match across 3 difficulty tiers • Higher ranks add mirrored comets and a departure countdown • A 5-step hands-on tutorial CAMPAIGN • 6 star systems, 36 operations, up to 4 independent enemy command networks • Comet clusters, elliptical binary stars, gravity lensing, speed zones, rotating asteroid belts • Annihilation, hold-the-line, survival, and evacuation escort objectives • Comms cutscenes between operations — skippable, with redeploy summaries ANYWHERE • Offline gameplay, no account required • Unity Ads interstitials between Academy and Campaign battles • Separate choices for usage analytics and personalized ads • Haptics, sound effects, pause and restart Whoever reads the orbit one move ahead owns the galaxy.
