About this game
Back Wars is a 2D turn-based strategy game where players command units in intense, portrait-mode battles. The game features a steep learning curve and requires significant strategic planning to overcome challenging AI opponents. While free to play, some players feel progression can be heavily influenced by in-app purchases, making it a demanding experience for solo players.
