Sortie is a turn-based strategy war game built for iMessage: send a move between texts, outmaneuver a friend, and capture the enemy HQ. Command infantry, artillery, destroyers, battleships, fighters, and bombers across compact 8x9 battlefields where every branch matters. Start a match from Messages, take a few minutes to plan your turn, then send the updated board back into the conversation. Prefer solo practice? Face AI commanders in the iPhone app and sharpen your tactics before challenging friends. Features: - Play asynchronous strategy matches directly in iMessage - Battle friends or train against AI commanders - Capture HQs, control cities, use ports, and exploit light fog of war - Command army, navy, and air units with distinct strengths - Reversible moves until you end your turn - Match history, tutorial, sound, haptics, and tactical presentation - Sortie Pro unlocks tougher AI, coaching tools, replay features, additional maps, cosmetics, and richer recaps Every turn is small enough to fit between texts, but sharp enough to reward real planning. Open a front, make your move, and keep the battle going whenever you have a minute. Privacy Policy: https://noworrieslifestyle.com/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://noworrieslifestyle.com/eula
