Battle Simulator - Sandbox

Strategy over luck

The idea behind Battle Simulator - Sandbox is that good planning wins. Before a battle starts you position your army, and the more precise that placement is, the better your results. That puts the focus on thinking ahead. Which units go in front, which stay back, and how you spread them out all shape the way the fight plays out.

Two ways to play

There are two modes. The first is a set of more than 100 prepared levels to beat one by one, each a fresh test of your planning. The second is sandbox mode, where you build a battle from scratch and decide what both sides look like. It is a handy place to try out ideas and see what happens.

Choose your army

Building your force is fully in your hands. The roster includes warriors with swords and shields, spearmen, fighters with hammers, archers, cannons and units carrying guns, and the developer says more troops are on the way. Mixing them well is part of the challenge, and a smart blend of close fighters and ranged units can make the difference.

Tips

• Spend time on placement before each battle, since it matters most.
• Use sandbox mode to test new setups.
• Try different mixes of troop types to find what works.
