Micro RTS
A compact real-time strategy game: mine crystals, train workers, soldiers and archers, build towers and march on the red base through eight levels, picking a veteran perk after each victory.
Micro RTS squeezes a whole real-time strategy war onto one screen. Your workers mine glowing crystals automatically while you spend the income on more workers, sword-wielding soldiers, long-range archers and defensive towers. Select units by dragging a box or tapping them, order them to move, attack a target, or mine a different crystal field, and press ATTACK to send your army at the enemy base.
The red commander is no pushover. It expands its workforce, builds towers, and reads your army: if you field mostly archers it trains charging soldiers, and if you field mostly soldiers it answers with archers. It defends its base with everything it has and launches attack waves when it is strong enough or when its timer runs out, flagged by a warning on screen. Each of the eight levels gives the enemy a bigger base, more income and a head start army. After every win you choose one of three perks, from tougher units and sharper weapons to faster training, cheaper towers, a fortified keep or a free starting squad. Your best level sets a saved rank.
It is a good fit for fans of classic base-building games who want a match in about five minutes. A tip: keep your workers busy early, scout the enemy mix, and use towers near your base to hold the line while your army grows.
How to play
Workers mine crystals on their own. Spend crystals on workers, soldiers, archers and towers. Select your army, order it around the map, and destroy the red base to win the level and choose a perk. If your base is destroyed the run ends. Win all eight levels to conquer the map.
