Back Wars

Journey 1,000 years into the past to conquer the world!

Command an army flung through time to rule a world a millennium earlier. But these primitive societies present unexpected challenges! Lead a diverse resistance force composed of hundreds of warriors from various global cultures. Direct individual soldiers or zoom out to command entire armies with strategic finesse. This game masterfully blends grand strategy with immersive, interactive battles. And just when you think victory is assured, history may repeat itself...

Upgrades:

While largely free-to-play, optional upgrades let you customize your experience. Choose your starting faction and territory size, or engage in fantasy battles between any two cultures, deploying as many warriors as your device can handle! You can even edit individual characters (note: the game uses up to 1,000, regularly replaced).

Controls:

When controlling a single character, choose between "Classic" one-handed or "Dual Wield" controls. A comprehensive "Controls" guide is accessible via the dateline pause menu. In-game hints are also available within scrolls and books.

Switch controlled characters by tapping their health meter or directly selecting them on the battlefield. "Commander" mode (activated via bottom-screen arrows) allows you to issue broad commands by swiping from a unit's location to a target. Units will attempt to follow instructions (relocation, combat, object retrieval), but remember their actions are subject to their own priorities and capabilities.

Zoom in/out using pinch gestures.

Map & Gameplay:

The main "Campaign" mode requires territorial expansion. Move units between connected areas to fortify existing territories or conquer rivals. Only 50% of a territory's units can move at once, favoring defensive strategies.

Population grows after each round, so controlling multiple territories is crucial. Units also regenerate health over time, encouraging strategic relocation across different areas each turn.

Performance:

This is my largest-scale game yet, and may require a high-end device for optimal performance (100%). Lowering "Population" reduces on-screen characters, and adjusting "Display" options can further improve performance.

There's far more to discover than can be explained here. Enjoy the journey!
