iOS strategy game Little Conquest takes Galcon and runs with it
Twist and shout
We're always a little surprised that more developers haven't taken the Galcon casual strategy formula and added to it. That's exactly what Battlebit Games have looked to do with Little Conquests, though.
In this new iOS strategy game, you start with a bunch of fixed fortifications and must take over your opponents' simply by touching and dragging from one to the other.
Provided the number of units within yours exceeds the other, you'll take it over.
This alone was enough for pocket strategists back in 2008, but Battlebit Games has introduced a number of twists in the gameplay that appear to be inspired by classic RTS titles.
The are defensive towers to overrun and an involved upgrade system to negotiate, among other expansive tweaks.

On the plus side, those that do will be able to play Little Conquest competitively online.
Little Conquest has a release date of "soon," whenever that is. Count us mildly interested.
