    Build your garrison, control air, land and sea forces and outwit your friends.

    Ready your forces
    Hold your ground

    Its 1942, the height of the Second World War, and your platoon of troops has just landed on an island in the South Pacific ocean. You need to think fast, deploying your forces and resources to fight off a determined enemy.

    Command infantry, armour, ships and warplanes as you battle to establish a foothold. Then you can build your army up to launch strikes on nearby enemy territory in a free-to-play title that blends battlefield strategy with quick-thinking combat management. Just remember to leave strong defences behind otherwise you could return to a ransacked base.

    Tropical tactics
    You mustnt surrender

    -Control troops, jeeps, tanks, naval vessels and air forces as you fight for supremacy in the South Pacific.
    -Establish your base, build it up and fortify it with everything from sentry posts to howitzers.
    -Train a fighting force ready to invade nearby islands and improve your strategic advantage.
    -Launch strikes against your friends but be prepared for retaliation.    … Expand

    Taking a mobile free-to-play game like this and copying it wholesale to the console was a ridiculous error in judgement by the developer. Someone in the team should really have understood better the difference in what works for console compared to mobile, and understood that this kind of game just won't sit well with the kinds of people that like playing console games.

    You are rewarded with gold as you advance. Gold enough so you dont have to use real money.
    Your advance will be quite slow - it took me 3 months to get to level 60.
    The strategic in the game a very simple at the start but as you advance it gets much more challenging.
    At the later stages it is very difficult to succesfully steal gold from your opponents, bun very fun when you have succes.
    The worst part is that you cant control your troops after you have dispathed them.    … Expand

    Let me start by saying I do love this game, I play it multiple times per week. It is a fun game to kill a few minutes with a day on the PS4. ILet me start by saying I do love this game, I play it multiple times per week. It is a fun game to kill a few minutes with a day on the PS4. I would love to give this game a score higher than a 6, but I cannot. This is because the game basically forces you to use your own money to purchase in-game gold and stuff to expand. It becomes impossible to compete with people who use real money, and you can only do so much without spending your own cash. It's BS.

    So overall, it isn't a bad game for free. But I don't like the way it works.    … Expand

    Its meant to be played on mobile.

    Well guess what it can be. Its on both PC and AND which is fantastic because since its a casual strategy    Its meant to be played on mobile.

    Well guess what it can be. Its on both PC and AND which is fantastic because since its a casual strategy game (which belongs on mobiles) you can download it here, link it to your mobile app and play there. Oh did I mention you are also able to receive achievements even if you have been playing on mobile.

    Lets move on from that and here are the pros and cons:

    Pro
    Play on any platform
    Almost no learning curve
    Game is still balanced

    Con
    Upgrade prices are pretty high (not too bad though but still..)
    Once you attack someone you stay on there board saying you've attacked them. I've been revenged upon many times because of this.

    Other that those pros and cons its a good game, not too bad, not too good.    … Expand

    AI is worthless, countless time my guys would run to a wall and immediatly turn around, all while being shot. I have lost many matches becauseAI is worthless, countless time my guys would run to a wall and immediatly turn around, all while being shot. I have lost many matches because of this garbage along with the fact of getting attacked by someone who is 30 F*cking levels above me. The stupid ai, unbalanced matches and constant disconnect makes this free to play game a piece of Sh*t. Also the build and upgrade times take weeks! They do this so you buy their gold with real money for faster upgrades… Expand
