Back Wars

Command history itself by advancing 1,000 years ahead of your time!

When a futuristic army travels back to conquer the world a millennium early, they soon realize their primitive adversaries are more formidable than expected. Lead a global resistance with hundreds of warriors from diverse cultures. Take direct control of a single hero or oversee your entire army from a strategic command view. By blending deep world-domination strategy with fully interactive battles, this game delivers the ultimate dual experience. And just when victory seems assured... history may yet have another twist in store.

UPGRADES

While the core experience is free, optional upgrades let you customize your campaign—select your starting faction and territorial advantage. Unleash fantasy clashes between any two cultures, deploying as many warriors as your device can support. You can even edit every character in the world—though please note the game dynamically manages up to 1,000 characters, with regular replacements.

CONTROLS

When directing an individual unit, choose between the “Classic” one-handed control scheme or “Dual Wield,” where each hand operates independently. Newcomers to the series can pause the action at any time via the dateline and consult the in-game “Controls” guide. Also watch for interactive hints found on scrolls and books throughout your journey.

Switch between team members instantly by tapping their health bar or selecting them directly on the battlefield. Use the bottom-screen arrows to enter “Commander” mode—swipe from any unit to another location to issue orders. Whether you command relocation, attacks, or object collection, your troops will interpret your directives based on their current situation and priorities.

No matter your device or control style, you can always zoom in or out by pinching the center of the screen.

MAP

In the main “Campaign” mode, expand your territory by moving units between connected regions. Choose to fortify held lands or launch invasions into rival zones. Be aware: only 50% of a territory’s units can travel—making defense easier than offense.

Inhabited territories gain population after each round, so controlling more land is key. Units also heal gradually over time, encouraging you to rotate active regions each turn.

PERFORMANCE

Please note: this is the most ambitious game I've created and may demand a high-end device for optimal performance. Reduce the “Population” setting to limit on-screen characters, or adjust other visual options in the “Display” menu.

Some aspects of this game are best discovered through play—I hope you enjoy unraveling its secrets!
