子弹不会在去程造成伤害。真正的攻击,发生在它沿原轨迹归来时。 BACKTRACE / 回线是一款围绕“返程弹道”构筑的俯视角动作 roguelite。你只有六枚不会消耗的弹丸:把它们射向墙面,利用反弹布置未来的杀伤线;引诱敌人进入轨迹;在正确时机召回;最后赶回旧射击点,接住归来的弹丸并维持战斗节奏。 核心特色: - 独特的返程伤害机制:去程布线,返程穿透敌群; - 六枚永久弹丸:每次发射都同时创造弹道与必须返回的锚点; - 主动召回、相位冲刺、反弹、标记和接弹组成高密度战术循环; - 五波完整单局、四类敌人和多阶段 Boss“收债人”; - 九项围绕返程、反弹和接弹设计的局内升级; - 为 iPhone 与 iPad 横屏设计的双虚拟摇杆和快捷按钮; - 离线单机、无广告、无应用内购买; - 降低闪光、关闭震动、瞄准辅助和色觉符号等辅助选项。 先决定子弹将如何回来,再决定自己要去哪里。

Read full description

Steel Tide is a real-time strategy game with large-scale battles. Raise a base, run an economy, and take the field with tanks, artillery, helicopters, jets and a fleet. Every unit has an armour class it is good against, so a mixed force beats the biggest gun. Artillery fires over ridges; point-defence towers shoot the rockets down. Transports put armour where the roads do not go. Crews that survive get better. When nothing else settles it, there is the silo. Play alone or together: • Conquest & Breakthrough against three grades of AI on generated or authored maps • Up to 8 seats in any mix of players and AI, in teams or free-for-all • Cross-platform PvP: phone, tablet, desktop and browser play on the same servers • Host your own server with one command and keep your games in your own hands • A scenario editor: paint the ground, place the spawns and the ore, play or share it • Modding system to customize units & buildings No ads or in-app purchases. Single player works offline.
