Hex Squad Tactics
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hex Squad is a relaxed real-time tactics game about maneuver and angles. You command a small squad across a hex grid โ where you point each trooper matters as much as where you move them. Every trooper sees down a weapon cone. Fog of war hides what no one is looking at. Bullets travel slowly enough that moving is a real dodge, so a fight is decided by positioning: get the angle, use the cover, and catch the enemy where their armor isn't. FEATURES โข Real-time or turn-based โ play in relaxed continuous time, or take it slow, turn by turn. โข Free facing and weapon cones โ line of sight is a cone you aim, not a stat. Flanking is the kill. โข Cover, walls, and fog โ read the battlefield, brace against walls, and control the lanes. โข Automatic reaction fire โ your troopers spot and defend themselves; you play the general. โข Distinct classes โ sniper, rifle, SMG, shield, and burst, each with its own reach and role. โข Waves and regroup โ hold ground as the arena tightens around you. โข Play online โ host a room with a 4-letter code and take on a friend, or fight the AI solo. Real-time or turn-based, both work online. โข Fast to pick up, no accounts, no ads, no timers, no nonsense. Just tactics. Point your squad, hold the angles, and win the ground.
