About Artillerists
Artillerists is a turn-based isometric strategy game that features deeply modernized gameplay mechanics of the favorite classic game Battleship. Player should destroy the enemy’s armed forces, capture territories, earn money and upgrade their army. In addition to the main types of units and weapons, player can use unique ordnance, such as radar reconnaissance, volley fire, air strikes, artillery strikes and many others. Also player has to do economic planning and resource management properly in order to win.
So besides variety of weapons available, the game is not only about military skills. An arms race and the struggle for a control over factories require some economic planning. The in-game currency and proper resource management will help players to surpass their enemies. It is worth noting that there are no limits on the number of troops under player's command. If you ever played a well-known game "Minesweeper" you will definitely enjoy a new improved ammunition of Artillerists that will let you know how far the enemy vehicles are from you. It makes the game truly tactical and exciting. It also trains your memory very well!
The battleground is a big island, with different types of terrain, weather conditions, sizes of battlefields and combat missions. Additional and bonus missions with tricky tasks will please even the most demanding player.

Hitting invisible targets with bombs still depends too heavily on luck. If you glance at the game's pictures and think they appear familiar, you have likely already played something similar. The game's entire mechanic is based on the game Battleship, in which you bomb tiles on the grid to sink ships. That is exactly what you are doing here, with the exception that you are now placing ground units. The principle remains the same. You begin by clicking and dragging units to any location you want. There are no constraints, so you can arrange units together, around corners, or elsewhere. Although the game begins with small 5x5 grids with limited placement options, it quickly evolves to far larger battlefields and armies. Once you are satisfied with the placement, you need to click the "start" button. You can now take turns with your opponent and drop bombs by clicking on squares on the grid. The winner is the one who destroys all of his opponent's units. If a unit is stretched across multiple tiles, it will burn when hit. And if you miss and see a flashing red circle, it means there’s an enemy in one of the adjacent tiles. You do not know how many units there are so you must cont…2 found this helpful
A neat little battleship-clone with artillery pieces and upgrades. Definitely worth it if you get it cheap. I'd love to see a further development of this idea, with updated graphics and more choices along the way.1 found this helpful
Plays like the old mine game fun
Simple, yet beautiful fresh look at Sea Combat and Minesweeper. Surprisingly good and even with satisfying progression system.
