Hex Squad Tactics vs Tactix

Hex Squad is a relaxed real-time tactics game about maneuver and angles. You command a small squad across a hex grid — 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 • Real-time or turn-based — play in relaxed continuous time, or take it slow, turn by turn. • Free facing and weapon cones — line of sight is a cone you aim, not a stat. Flanking is the kill. • Cover, walls, and fog — read the battlefield, brace against walls, and control the lanes. • Automatic reaction fire — your troopers spot and defend themselves; you play the general. • Distinct classes — sniper, rifle, SMG, shield, and burst, each with its own reach and role. • Waves and regroup — hold ground as the arena tightens around you. • Play online — 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. • Fast to pick up, no accounts, no ads, no timers, no nonsense. Just tactics. Point your squad, hold the angles, and win the ground.

Tactix — Tactical Strategy Board & Sandbox Plan, draw, and pressure-test your team's tactics on accurate, competition-ready map layouts. Tactix is an offline tactical strategy board built for players of modern 5v5 tactical shooters who take their round planning seriously. Draw a route for every player, place utility exactly where it lands, then hit play and watch the whole round unfold on a clean top-down view. Tactix turns a rough idea in your head into a precise, repeatable, shareable plan — and it works entirely without an internet connection. WHAT YOU CAN DO Build strategies on 12 detailed maps with faithful layouts and marked bomb sites. Place up to ten players and draw a movement path for each, with per-waypoint pacing (run, walk, crouch). Drop smokes, flashes, HE grenades, molotovs and incendiaries where they actually land, with realistic throw and travel time. Press play to watch a smooth, timed playback of your entire execute — every player and every piece of utility moving in sync. Work multi-level maps with a single tap: toggle upper and lower floors, with the off-floor action shown as a faint overlay so you never lose context. Plan bomb plants, retakes, position holds, and set-piece executes. SIMULATED DUELS Layer combat on top of your drawn plan. Give each player a loadout and see how engagements resolve. Distance-aware damage, line of sight blocked by walls and by smoke, flashbangs that blind, and grenades and fire that chip away health. Health bars, tracer fire, and a kill feed make every trade easy to read, so you can see exactly why a duel was won or lost. BUILT FOR PRACTICE Fully offline — everything lives on your device. Save and organise your strategies into a personal playbook you can return to and refine. A clean, fast, distraction-free interface designed for quick iteration. Whether you are calling for a five-stack, teaching a newer player where to hold, or dry-running an execute before a match, Tactix gives you a precise, visual way to think about the round before it starts.
