About this game
Vangaro Tactics is a colorful turn-based strategy game with pointy-nose commanders and tactical Stealth Missions.
You will command a vibrant roster of cartoon units into battle. There's regular "frontal combat" levels and Stealth Missions, where you infiltrate behind enemy lines at night, and should choose your moves carefully to avoid alerting too many foes.
Experience the Vangaro War through a diverse cast of playable commanders from multiple backgrounds and factions. Fresh or hardened, noble or humble, each one has a unique perspective on the conflict they've been entangled in. Use your Commander Power to turn the tide of battle!
Infiltrate behind enemy lines at night on the Stealth Missions. You're outnumbered, so measure your forces, choose your targets, and defeat them before they forward the alarm to the next outpost. Mine, recruit units and outsmart the enemy to overcome each mission.
Manage a vibrant roster of ground, air and sea units. Employ infantry to capture buildings and take resources, while vehicles provide greater firepower, transport, and more. No unit is flawless, even the chunky tanks may need a hand!
Discover the world of Vangaro through multiple asymmetric factions with exclusive units. There's a common set of troops, but each side has developed special units to gain tactical advantage on different terrains and situations. Adapt your playstyle to each commander and faction to plan the best strategies and reach victory.
Mine resources and capture factories to produce gold, then head to the barracks to recruit new units. Factories under your control yield each turn but minerals are limited; Take them first to get an edge on the enemy!
