Back Wars

Step back 1,000 years and conquer the world!

Lead an army through time to dominate a world unsuspecting of your advanced weaponry and tactics. But be warned, these primitive societies present unexpected challenges! Command hundreds of warriors from diverse global cultures, switching between individual control and army-wide strategic maneuvers. Experience a blend of immersive real-time battles and world-conquering strategy. And just when you think victory is assured, history might repeat itself…

Upgrades and Customization

While primarily free-to-play, optional upgrades let you customize your experience. Choose your starting faction and territory size, or engage in fantasy battles between any two cultures, deploying as many warriors as your device can handle. Extensive character editing is also available (note: the game utilizes up to 1,000 regularly replaced characters).

Intuitive Controls

Individual character control offers "Classic" one-handed or "Dual Wield" modes. A comprehensive control guide is accessible via the dateline pause menu. In-game hints are also available within scrolls and books.

Switch between controlled team members by tapping their health meter or directly selecting them on the battlefield. Activate "Commander" mode via on-screen arrows for strategic overview. Swipe from a unit's location to direct their actions (relocation, combat, object interaction), keeping in mind their individual capabilities and priorities.

Zoom in/out using the standard pinch-to-zoom gesture.

Strategic Map Conquest

The "Campaign" mode focuses on territorial expansion. Move units between connected areas, fortifying existing territories or attacking rivals. Only 50% of a territory's units are available for movement at any given time, favoring defensive strategies.

Territorial populations grow after each round, incentivizing control over multiple areas. Units gradually regenerate health, encouraging strategic movement across the map each turn.

Performance Considerations

This is the largest-scale game of its kind, potentially demanding a high-end device for optimal performance. Lowering the "Population" setting reduces on-screen characters, while additional display options allow for further performance tuning.
