SkullWar: Proving Grounds

SkullWar: Proving Grounds is a 30th-century combat test simulator set in the Phase Distortion universe. As a tester, you pilot armed mechanical units called Skulls in tactical drills and standardized simulated combat to evaluate their combat performance.

Turn-based combat

Before a match, you select Skull units from the Armory. Each has distinct stats and a dedicated Function, so your formation and starting positions can affect your early advantage. During combat, you command each Skull to move, attack or use its Function, choosing actions in response to the changing battlefield.

Skulls have different Functions and uses. You assess opportunities for synergy, manage tactical resources and track unit positions to maintain control. Careful damage calculations help you identify when an enemy Skull is in a concentrated fire zone and can be eliminated.

Test objectives

You complete a test by meeting its designated objective. In Duel Simulation, for example, you must destroy all enemy Skulls.
