Fireteam

Read full description

Fireteam is a tactical strategy game where every decision matters. Draft a 3-unit fireteam from a roster of 17 unique military units, assign powerful attributes, and battle your opponent in turn-based combat. No luck. No pay-to-win. Just strategy. DRAFT. STRATEGIZE. DOMINATE. Each match starts with a blind draft โ€” both players pick from the same shared roster. Choose your 3 units wisely, then assign 1 of 16 attributes to each. Will you build an aggressive rush squad? A tanky defensive wall? A combo that exploits your opponent's weaknesses? With over 42,000 possible squad combinations, no two matches play the same. 17 UNIQUE UNITS From frontline Tanks and precision Marksmen to devastating Stealth Bombers and tactical Combat Controllers โ€” every unit has unique stats, abilities, and a priority that determines turn order. Learn them all. Master the matchups. MULTIPLE GAME MODES Play vs AI โ€” Three difficulty tiers: Beginner, Veteran, and Hardcore Online 1v1 โ€” Challenge real players in competitive matches Ranked โ€” Climb the ladder in best-of-3 ranked series. Earn your rank from Lieutenant to General Campaign โ€” Five story-driven missions with fog-of-war exploration, boss fights, and permadeath roguelike mechanics Territory War โ€” Join or create an army, claim territory on a shared hex map, launch 48-hour attacks, and compete in monthly seasons CAMPAIGN: WAR OF ATTRITION Lead your 17-unit platoon through five interconnected missions โ€” from underground bunkers to destroyed skyscrapers to cybernetic cores. Explore maps with fog of war, encounter enemies, open loot chests, and fight your way to the exit. But be careful: units lost in combat are gone for good. Manage your rations, choose your battles, and survive. TERRITORY WAR Join an army of real players and fight for control of a shared territory map. Officers claim hexes, set AI defense strategies, and launch attacks on rival armies. Each hex produces rations over time. Capital hexes earn Control Points for the monthly season leaderboard. Coordinate with your army, donate rations, and dominate the map. FAIR COMPETITIVE PLAY Every player has access to the same units, attributes, and game mechanics. There are no pay-to-win advantages.

Weapon Tower

Features
Read full description

Enemies advance along a fixed road. You place weapons beside it and stop them. The slots are fixed. Which weapon, which slot, in which order. When the gold runs out, do you build another one, or upgrade what you already have? That is the whole game. Nothing is left to chance. โ–  100 levels Clear level 1 and level 2 opens. Enemies get tougher and more numerous as you go. Early levels run 6 turns, later ones 20 - each run gets longer. โ–  16 weapons Guns that punch through single targets, cannons that burst on impact, lasers that pierce a line, plasma that arcs between enemies. Attack towers and support towers both: slowing, poison, weakening, range extension. Every one has a different job, so the arrangement is what decides the outcome. โ–  Three upgrade tiers Tap a placed weapon to upgrade it. Damage and range go up and a marker appears on its base. Spread thin, or stack one position deep? The same gold builds very different defenses. โ–  Ultimate A screen-wide strike that charges over time. Your insurance for the turn that almost breaks through. โ–  Built to play anywhere - Portrait, one hand - AUTO advances turns for you - Speed from 1x to 2x - English / Japanese - Works offline, no account needed - No ads, no in-app purchases A level takes a few minutes. Good for a commute or the last few minutes before bed.
