About

ARC WARs

Features
Read 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. ADS AND USAGE ANALYTICS Ad delivery requires a network connection and processing of advertising data. Non-personalized ads also process some data. Personalized ads require both in-app consent and iOS tracking permission. Firebase Analytics collects usage statistics only with separate consent. You can play without granting either choice and change or withdraw each choice in settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ARC WARs at Free against TABS Pocket Edition's $4.99. ARC WARs also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). TABS Pocket Edition's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
