Back Wars Rate : 4.3

Travel back in time to rule the world 1,000 years in advance!

When an army travels back in time to rule the world 1,000 years in advance, they get more than they bargained for from their primitive counterparts! Lead the resistance with hundreds of warriors from different cultures all over the world. Focus on one individual or step back to command an entire army at your fingertips. Combining world-dominating strategy with fully interactive battles, this game offers the best of both worlds! And just when you think it's over, history might just repeat itself...

UPGRADES

The game is mostly free to play, but you can enhance your experience by upgrading. Choose which side and how much territory to start with, tailoring your journey to your preferences. You can also engage in thrilling fantasy battles between any two cultures, utilizing as many warriors as your device can handle! For a personalized touch, you can edit every character in the world, though please note that the game features up to 1,000 characters that are regularly updated.

CONTROLS

When controlling a specific character, this game offers either the "Classic" one-handed control system or "Dual Wield" where each hand is controlled separately. If you're new to these from previous games in the series, you can pause the action at any time by hitting the dateline and then study the "Controls" guide. Keep an eye out for in-game hints from scrolls or books that you can read.

In this game, you can switch which team member you are controlling at any time by tapping their health meter or pointing to them on the battlefield. By tapping the arrows at the bottom of the screen, you can activate "Commander" mode, where you step back and direct any active team member by simply swiping from their location to another. Whether you want them to relocate, fight an enemy, or pick up an object, they will interpret your instructions. However, remember that they can only act at their convenience and may have other priorities!

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

MAP

The main "Campaign" game mode requires you to expand your territory by moving units from one area to any connected one. You can either "fortify" an existing territory or attempt to seize a rival territory. Note that only 50% of the units in a territory will be available to travel, making it harder to invade than to defend.

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

PERFORMANCE

Please be aware that this is the largest scale game I have created to date, and may require a high-end device to run at full capacity. To optimize performance, consider keeping the "Population" low to reduce the number of characters on screen, or adjust other features in the "Display" options.

There's more to this game than I could ever fully explain here, so I hope you enjoy discovering things on your own!
