Militia packs tactical depth into a minimalist strategy game
The art of war
Militia's muted aesthetic and abstract icons wage tense tactical battles in this new strategy puzzler, out now on iPad and iPhone.
Reminiscent of games such as Hoplite and Enyo, Militia gives you complete knowledge of the board - how many enemies can move, which attacks they can use, your own unit's strengths and limits - and challenges you to clear away your foes in methodical turn-based fashion.
Sorcerers can teleport heroes and enemies across the board, paladin can restore the moves of surrounding heroes, warriors slay three enemies at once with a single axe swing, and so on.
Figuring out how to use the heroes available at the moment is crucial to beating Militia's levels.
Surviving each stage introduces you to more complex battles, as well as training you for the difficult Dark levels. Dark stages add new enemies, heroes, and other elements to consider.
Militia is available for 3.99p / 3.99c on the App Store. You can also find the game on Steam.
