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.

Command tiny armies, control the crossings and capture enemy fortresses. Tinmarch is an offline, single-player real-time strategy game where the ground you take helps your army grow. Select a base, tap a target or draw a route for your soldiers. Reinforce an exposed flank and decide when to commit your reserves. Take a moment to read the battlefield before the action starts, and pause to plan your next move. MAKE THE MAP YOUR ADVANTAGE More territory means stronger troop production. Secure wellsprings, use high ground and hold narrow bridges against a larger army. Small pockets sealed behind your lines join your territory. Read the enemy's plan, respond to warned attacks and redirect troops already in the field. Capture the enemy's camps and fortresses to win.
