Jidosen is a simple monster auto-battler. The only decisions you need to make are what skills to give your monster. Then when you send it into battle, you just watch as it automatically uses its skills. The main mode of Jidosen is sending your monster into the Gauntlet to battle 10 other monsters made by other players. The better your monster does the higher it climbs on the leaderboard and the more likely it is to earn better rewards! And now there is also an Adventure Mode, a roguelike where you take your Monster battling experiments to wild levels. There is also Daily Quests for an ongoing PvE challenge where your monster(s) can fight increasingly difficult waves of enemies or battle as a group against a fearsome Dragon! The Twisted Arena hosts events where the rules to normal combat can wildly change and we see who can come up with the best strategy without being able to test it. With Local League you can "drop" your monsters on your real world location and each day your monster will automatically battle any nearby monsters dropped by other players, earning you rune shards and sometimes learning skills from your opponents.

RuZe is a fast, tactical hex-grid strategy game you play at your own pace. Take your turn, close the app, come back when it's your move again. You get a full day per move, so nobody's rushing you and nobody can stall you out. TWO FACTIONS, ONE BOARD Command the Empire's warm ocean creatures or the Raiders' cool robots. The five core units are the same in function, just different looks. Each faction has one special unit, expensive but powerful and unique to that faction. Every unit type plays a role: scouts for vision, heavies for the front line, medics to keep your force alive, and each faction's unique special unit for the tricks that win close games. REAL FOG OF WAR You see what your units can see, nothing more. Sneak a flank around a blind spot, screen your ranged units behind a body, or bait an overextended enemy into your vision. Line of sight matters: obstacles and enemy units block ranged shots, so positioning is the whole game. PLAY YOUR WAY - Challenge a friend directly with a private invite code - Post an open challenge and let anyone accept it - Queue for a skill-matched ranked opponent (Glicko-2 rated, like chess) - Or just play a bot, pick Recruit, Rookie, Veteran or Steve and go ASYNC BY DESIGN Come back whenever it's your move. A 24-hour turn clock keeps games honest, opponents who walk away forfeit, so you're never trapped in a dead match. It's strategy that fits into a real schedule. FAIR AND HONEST No pay-to-win. Matches are decided by skill, not spending. The Empire faction is free forever; unlock the Raiders by playing (finish 3 matches, bot or online, win or lose). Every faction is balanced so that neither dominates. Ratings use the same Glicko-2 system as serious chess ratings, so your rank actually means something. Outsmart, outplay, outRuZe.
