Back Wars

Imagine traveling back in time to rule the world 1,000 years in advance! When an army attempts this audacious feat, they encounter fierce resistance from their primitive counterparts. In this game, you can lead the resistance with hundreds of warriors from diverse cultures across the globe. Choose to focus on a single hero or command an entire army with strategic ease. This game blends world-dominating strategy with fully interactive battles, offering an immersive experience. And just when you think the battle is won, history might just repeat itself, keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Upgrades

The game is predominantly free to play, but you can enhance your experience with upgrades. These allow you to select your starting side and the amount of initial territory. Additionally, you can engage in fantasy battles between any two cultures, utilizing as many warriors as your device can manage. For those who enjoy customization, you can edit every character in the game, though please note that the game features up to 1,000 characters that are regularly updated.

Controls

When controlling a specific character, you have the choice between the "Classic" one-handed control system or "Dual Wield," where each hand is operated independently. If you're new to these systems from previous games in the series, you can pause the game at any time by pressing the dateline and review the "Controls" guide. Keep an eye out for in-game hints provided through scrolls or books.

You can switch between team members at any time by tapping their health meter or pointing at them on the battlefield. To activate "Commander" mode, tap the arrows at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to direct any active team member by swiping from their current position to a new one. Whether you want them to relocate, engage an enemy, or pick up an item, they'll interpret your commands—albeit at their own pace and according to their priorities.

No matter the device or control method, you can always zoom in or out by pinching the center of the screen.

Map

In the main "Campaign" mode, your objective is to expand your territory by moving units between connected areas. You can either fortify your current holdings or attempt to capture rival territories. Remember, only 50% of the units in a territory can travel, making invasion more challenging than defense.

The population of any inhabited territory can grow after each round, making it crucial to control as many territories as possible. Units also heal gradually over time, so it's beneficial to rotate through different locations each turn.

Performance

This game is the largest scale I've developed yet, and it may require a high-end device to run smoothly at 100%. To optimize performance, consider lowering the "Population" setting to reduce the number of characters on screen, or adjust other features in the "Display" options.

There's much more to this game than I can cover here, so I hope you enjoy discovering its intricacies for yourself!
