Warring States: Tactics

Warring States: Tactics is a turn-based battle strategy game set during China’s Warring States period, when feudal states struggle for control. You lead the forces of Qin through historically based missions as they challenge the other states for supremacy. The story unfolds through dialogue cut-scenes between missions, illustrated with character portraits, and through dialogue during battles.

Tactical combat

Combat takes place on hex-based maps and uses the IGOUGO turn system. You earn Tactical Points by making sound tactical decisions, such as flanking, using spears against cavalry and defending high ground. Spend those points on 18 special moves. There is no building, so the focus stays on combat and tactical choices.

Terrain mechanics span four environments. In siege battles, you can assault castle walls with siege towers or use battering rams to destroy gates.

Missions and battles

The game includes 15 single-player story missions, each on a unique map, and 12 Battle-mode maps. Battle mode supports play against human opponents or AI. Multiplayer supports 2–4 players, locally or online.

Soundtrack

The fully composed original soundtrack uses the actual sounds of classical Chinese musical instruments.
