Trench Assault is a real-time tactics game played in landscape mode, featuring competitive online matches and a loot-driven progression system. While the core gameplay is described as addictive, the monetization is heavily criticized for being pay-to-win, and sessions can be lengthy, making it less suitable for quick interruptions. Players seeking a strategic challenge with a focus on unit acquisition and upgrades, and who don't mind the pay-to-win elements, will find this game engaging.
