MELS Tactics
Read full descriptionHide full description
MELS is a turn-based tactical RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. Lead a squad of three fighters, expand your base, send teams on expeditions and work with players across the server to develop a vaccine before the mutation spreads. Turn-based combat without autoplay Battles take place on a grid where position, distance and action order decide the outcome. Move each fighter yourself, choose the right target and adapt to enemies with different behavior. There is no auto button and no single pattern that wins every map. Track down wanted targets and claim their rewards. Build and upgrade your base Develop eight buildings, including headquarters, an armory, training camp, research center and biolab. Base upgrades unlock better shop stock, faster expeditions and new research. Operation Vaccine All players contribute to the same global goal: developing a vaccine against the infection. Send scientists to analyze zombie remains, support pathogen research and track your contribution on the leaderboard. The mutation keeps advancing โ can the whole server stay ahead of it? Create your squad Alpha, Beta and Kappa each have their own health, armor, damage, critical chance, speed and range. Equip helmets, vests, backpacks, firearms and melee weapons. Choose between close-range attacks, heavy firepower and long-range precision. Skills, gear and customization Develop combat abilities such as field medkits, mines, rockets, fire and frost. Improve passive attributes including damage, armor and critical chance. Collect equipment across eight rarity grades, from common to gold, and unlock dozens of appearance sets. Expeditions and loot Send search teams into green, gray and red zones. Longer and more dangerous expeditions offer better chances of valuable equipment. Visit the market for refreshed gear and take part in special raider operations for rare rewards. Game modes โข Campaign with 70+ levels and three difficulty settings โข Endless Waves with escalating enemies and seasonal records โข Battle for Glory seasonal leaderboard โข Wanted targets with special rewards โข Daily missions, achievements, seasons and the War Pass
Geometry War RTS
Read full descriptionHide full description
A whole realtime strategy game drawn in pencil and ink. Mine gold, train an army, and knock down the enemy base โ the classic RTS loop, rebuilt for one hand and a phone screen. No menus full of currencies, no timers asking you to come back tomorrow. Just a map, a river, and someone on the other side trying to do to you what you are trying to do to them. BUILD Workers mine gold and put up your buildings. Barracks makes infantry and rocket soldiers, the factory makes tanks and lasers, the hangar makes aircraft. Houses raise your population, towers hold ground, and a second base near a rich mine pays for itself. FIGHT Tanks shell buildings and lob shells that splash. Rocket soldiers scatter fire over a crowd. Lasers charge for two seconds and then cut through anything at range. Aircraft ignore walls and water entirely. Send everything at once, or press and hold to pick one type. THE OPPONENT The computer player was trained, not scripted โ thousands of games against itself, and against a copy of how the developer actually plays. It expands, researches, raids your miners, retreats when it is losing a fight, and comes back with more. Four difficulties from Easy to Brutal; Brutal is the same brain that never stops thinking. MODES โข Skirmish โ one map, one enemy, no mercy โข Survival โ hold off endless waves, and get your name on the world board โข Multiplayer โ share a five-letter code and play a friend anywhere Portrait. One hand. No ads, no purchases, no account needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Geometry War RTS at none against MELS Tactics's 10. Geometry War RTS also leads on ads (none vs shown). MELS Tactics's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
