Warpips

Warpips: Tiny Soldiers, Big Chaos Regret: 23% (my pips died bravely and stupidly) In Warpips you send tiny soldiers across a battlefield in a tug of war against the enemy. You pick units, send in tanks and helicopters and watch your little pips charge forward with full confidence and zero survival instinct. It's simple and cute, and more tactical than it looks. 8 hours of watching tiny men die for tiny gains. Very realistic, actually.

[h1] A Strategy Game Even I Can Actually Enjoy [/h1] I’ll be honest: I’m terrible at strategy games. If a game has multiple difficulty settings, I’m usually picking Easy and still somehow managing to make questionable decisions. So when I started playing Warpips, I wasn’t expecting it to become a strategy game I’d genuinely recommend. But somehow, it works. Warpips is one of those rare strategy games that manages to feel strategic without making you feel like you need a degree in military science to play it. The basic premise is simple: deploy your units, manage your resources, capture objectives, and try not to get completely destroyed. There’s a surprising amount of depth underneath that simplicity, but the game does a great job of letting you learn as you go. What I especially appreciate is that Warpips doesn’t overwhelm you with information. There are plenty of units and tactical decisions to make, but you can actually understand what’s happening on the battlefield. I don’t need to memorize 47 different unit counters just to have a chance of winning a fight. And when I inevitably make a terrible strategic decision, the game usually gives me enough room to recover instead …

Its a fun finished game (please give us mods...)

I binged the hell out of this! And to think I almost passed it up. Warpips is an excellent tug-of-war strategy game, with many units, builds, and counters. The music and pixel violence kept me mesmerized. I put way too much time into this in only a handful of days. Highly recommend, if you like addicting games!

Warpips is a nice semi-autobattler (have to click in-battle) that I rate 8/10. It's not complicated, it's pretty fun, and the tutorial actually teaches you (unlike the last few games I've played). I got the game 75% off & for that price, it's well worth it. the GOODs: * EZ to learn * Skill-based * Actually is fun * Battles can be short * Roguelike upgrades * Can blitz or defend to assault/defend (skill based) * Certain attacks are random * Low micromanage the BADs: * Too expensive unless steep discount * Battles can be long (non-stop elite units almost guarantee death) * Low amount of roguelike upgrades (18; why 18 and not 25?) * Some upgrades are lackluster * Troop choices are random for next battle * Can be given a "bad state," such as only x1 unit type leading to long, boring battles * Low replayability Other than the poor upgrade selection and random starting troops, Warpips is pretty fun. If you're skilled (right troops + assault at right time), some battles can be completed in 2-minutes or less.
