Tile Battle

Tile Battle is a local multiplayer game for 2–4 players, where you place directional tiles on a top-down grid to guide your units and redirect your opponents’. Destroy an enemy’s bases to stop reinforcements, then eliminate their remaining units to win. Its control system is easy to pick up, with factions, abilities and customizable settings adding further options.

Direct your units

Each player starts with bases that automatically spawn units. Units walk in a straight line until they hit a wall and turn around, and engage enemies automatically when they get close enough to attack. You place tiles pointing left, right, up or down; any team’s units change direction when they walk over one. Use tiles to send your units toward enemy bases or steer enemies away from your own.

You can have only five active tiles at a time. Removing a tile has a cooldown, so you can use this to disrupt an opponent’s plan or help your units push through their defenses. A player wins when all enemy units and bases are destroyed.

Choose a faction

Before a game starts, each player chooses one of three factions: Marauders, The Guild or Haunted. Each has a unique base unit and two special units, with different strengths and weaknesses. Each faction also has three unique abilities, and players choose one before the game. Abilities include the offensive fireball and Undying, a buff spell that empowers units and delays their death.

Maps and settings

There are six maps for each player count, for 18 maps in total. You can adjust game speed, spawn rates, sudden-death settings and other gameplay parameters, then save and load presets to return to preferred settings.

The game supports many controller types. One player can use a mouse and keyboard.
