War Legends lets you control your units' every move in this true throwback RTS

Overview & Key Takeaways

If you've read any of my other articles on the topic, then you probably know by now that I'm not a big fan of the auto-battler genre. As a strategy fan myself the idea of taking the actual, well, strategy out of the equation seems ludicrous. And it appears the developers of War Legends agree. This newly released RTS, now available on Android and coming soon to iOS, throws the conventions of mobile strategy out the window. Rather than simply throwing blobs of troops at one another, you control units individually, sending them wherever you want in classic Warcraft fashion. ... [MORE]

  • War Legends is a newly released RTS that offers true control of your units
  • Play in classic fashion inspired by the likes of Warcraft and Command & Conquer
  • Duke it out in 1v1, up to 3v3, campaign or tournaments!

If you've read any of my other articles on the topic, then you probably know by now that I'm not a big fan of the auto-battler genre. As a strategy fan myself the idea of taking the actual, well, strategy out of the equation seems ludicrous. And it appears the developers of War Legends agree.

This newly released RTS, now available on Android and coming soon to iOS, throws the conventions of mobile strategy out the window. Rather than simply throwing blobs of troops at one another, you control units individually, sending them wherever you want in classic Warcraft fashion.

Humans, orcs, elves and goblins, oh my

The Warcraft comparison doesn't stop there either. Alongside classic RTS gameplay you also have your standard setup of a fantasy world at war, and some suspiciously familiar looking orc and human factions to boot. But that'd hardly be the first time we've seen a new game riff on existing franchises.

You'll still be building your base, picking out magic scrolls and summoning heroes. But like in Red Alert or Age of Empires you'll be sending your troops out regularly to raid your opponents, keeping up the pressure and the excitement throughout each match.

Suffice it to say War Legends has really caught my eye and I'll be interested to see how well it's received. With a variety of modes such as tournaments, campaign and PvP ranging from two to six players, War Legends looks to have plenty of content for dedicated fantasy and strategy fans to sink their teeth into.

Speaking of which, if you find yourself wanting even more, or just want to check out the competition, then we've got you covered. Take a look at our list of the best strategy games on Android to see some more of our favourite picks you can play right now on mobile!

The Convergence is a dark fantasy auto-battler that uses an isometric perspective

As we head towards midday, there's an interesting little iOS auto-battler that's just crossed my desk. That's a genre I've often expressed confusion about the appeal of in the past, but if there's one that can justify why people like it, I reckon that The Convergence, out now on iOS, may just be that! With its isometric perspective and dark fantasy world, it's easy to see that The Convergence may have taken some significant inspiration from the world of Diablo. In it, you equip your heroes and send them out, watching as they either succeed or fail based on your preparation. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/the-convergence/out-now-on-ios/)

MoonDust: Cosmic Journey is an atmospheric sci-fi side-scroller with lush graphics

It's hard to really communicate the majesty and grandeur of outer space in gaming. I mean, there's only so many times you can stare in wonder at stars and nebulae before it all gets a bit samey. Fortunately, MoonDust: Cosmic Journey offers a truly visually attention-grabbing take on worlds of sci-fi and outer space! Available now on iOS, MoonDust is described by the developer as an atmospheric sci-fi exploration game. What that means is you'll have basic side-scrolling action in the foreground as you pilot your ship and avoid obstacles while collecting different elements, as in the background a gorgeous vista of strange alien worlds goes by. ...

Sally Face is the tale of one boy, his portable console, a prosthetic face and the horrors

The indie horror game is practically a genre unto itself. And with so many of them, there are equally ludicrous and disturbing premises for how the nightmare begins. But I think Sally Face is probably a standalone for its main character literally not having a face, and surprisingly, they're not the villain either! Sally Face sees you taking on the role of the titular character, a boy with a dark and troubled past, which is probably the best you can hope for, having to wear a prosthetic face after yours was destroyed. With the help of a portable gaming console that allows him to speak with the dead, Sal will have to solve a series of disturbing mysteries plaguing his home town with the help of his friends. ...
