Back Wars

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 with upgrades that allow you to choose which side to play and how much territory to start with. Unleash your creativity with fantasy battles between any two cultures, engaging as many warriors as your device can handle! You can even personalize every character in the world, although please note that the game uses up to 1,000 characters that are regularly updated.

CONTROLS

When controlling a specific character, the game offers the "Classic" one-handed control system or "Dual Wield" where each hand is controlled separately. If you're new to these controls 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.

You can switch which team member you're controlling at any time by tapping their health meter or pointing directly to them on the battlefield. By tapping the arrows at the bottom of the screen, you can activate "Commander" mode, allowing you to step back and direct any active member of your team by swiping from their location to another. Whether you want them to relocate, fight an enemy, or pick up an object, they will attempt to follow your instructions, albeit at their convenience and based on their priorities.

Regardless of the device or control method you're using, you can always zoom in or out by pinching 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. Keep in mind that only 50% of the units in a territory are available to travel, making invasions more challenging than defense.

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 between different locations each turn.

PERFORMANCE

This game is my largest-scale creation yet and may require a high-end device to run at 100%. 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 uncovering its intricacies for yourself!
