Army of Tactics

What is Army of Tactics?

Army of Tactics is the debut PvP game of the AOFverse, a mobile gaming metaverse that its team describes as an expanding suite of games built to a "Games 3.0" standard. The game itself is a tactical auto-battler — an auto-chess, in the developers' own words — in which you assemble an army and then watch it fight, with the decisions made in the setup rather than in the fight. It is built mobile-first, and it is positioned by the studio as the testing ground for the AOFverse's larger flagship title, Army of Fortune.

How an Arena Duel works

Arena duels are the core of it. You build your army, pay an entrance fee in the in-game $AFC currency, and play a best-of-five: win three rounds to take the match, though rounds can be drawn and a match can end level. Each player starts with 100 Mana and spends it placing cards, with both sides' placements visible in real time, so reading the opponent's board matters as much as what you brought. Mana is then topped up between rounds — the round's winner receives 15, the loser 25, a deliberate rubber-band that keeps a losing player in the match. Winners take $AFC and cards for upgrading their army.

Islands, resources and progression

Outside the duels sits a simulation layer. The game currently runs five themed islands, with more in development, and each has its own visual style, its own resources, its own arena and its own production facilities. You unlock an island by completing quests, gaining access to the arena that matches your level, and you can put buildings on it to produce resources — which are then traded to NPCs for $AFC. That gives the game a second, slower economy running underneath the matches, where progress comes from developing territory rather than from winning fights.
