A Strategy Game With Offensive & Defensive Gameplay
Select And Deploy Units

Each challenge will have different offensive and defensive units with different combat skills. Once the challenge starts, deploy your units to the green zone and make sure that the deployed respective units are based on their skills to be up against the opponents.
Target The Wooden Barriers

Prioritize breaking down their wooden barriers by using pyro units, but be careful of the enemies with long-range attacks, so make sure to deploy your units that have a good AoE damage to defeat those who are on the frontlines/behind the barriers.
Play With Other Players Via Co-Op!

You can also test your strategic skills through Co-Op and compete with different players!
