Smelogs Playground

Smelogs Playground is a strategy game set in a fantastical version of the ancient Aztec world. You build a base, gather resources, command armies and use spells in battles. You can also design your starting base, play against AI opponents, compete in ranked matches or tackle missions alone or in co-op.

Build and transform your base

Construct an Aztec stronghold with buildings, Cave systems and fortified walls. Your base design affects your success in battle, and you can create fortresses or mazes of traps. The Base Editor lets you place units and buildings before a match begins, then customize and share your designs with friends.

Units can evolve into structures, while buildings can transform back into warriors. You can also gather resources and protect your base as you prepare for combat.

Command armies and cast spells

Choose from units including swift Ballers, punchy warriors and powerful Obsidian Cannons. You control troops during battles, maneuvering them against opposing forces. The Crystal Codex grants spells that can summon comet showers, heal wounded soldiers and structures, or reveal hidden enemies.

Maps and objectives

Maps are procedurally generated and include neutral objectives to capture, as well as unknown creatures to watch out for. You navigate each map and adapt your strategy to its changing conditions.

Game modes

You can play dynamic missions alone or in co-op, managing your loadout and completing objectives as you navigate the Playground. Missions require you to balance risk, make successful extractions and progress further.

Ranked online battles pit you against players from around the world. Wins earn Elo points and move you up the ladder through tiers from novice to grand master; losses deduct points. Custom lobbies let you set rules, map settings and resource rates for private matches with friends or other players.

You can also train against AI opponents, choose a difficulty from novice to deity, explore the tech tree and test tactics. The AI adapts to your play.

Progression and customization

Advance through levels to unlock challenges and cosmetics. Customize your appearance, avatar, border and title.
