A puzzle is presented in the form of a grid of 9x9 boxes. When a battle starts between two armies, the game goes into Puzzle Mode in order to bring the confrontation to an end. The point of the game is to mobilize maximum troop power to invade the maximum amount of territory, obtain maximum revenue, and so on, until the whole map is under total control. Each territory provides stable revenue, and each city is able to train units of infantrymen, archers, boats, preachers, and the like. On a 3D map dividing the Mediterranean Basin into 75 territories, each nation starts the match with one single territory that includes its capital. It contains a crazy comical universe: goofballs gods, super cute mythological monsters, clown legionnaires, and much more. Discover the other campaigns thanks to the shop.īy developing cities and armies, and annexing new territories, the player gradually expands his power over the world!īut Tiny Token Empires is also a “casual’ strategy game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The iPhone version proposes the Roman campaign and the free missions mode. The player plays one of the five major ancient empires: Rome, Greece, Egypt, Persia, or Carthage. Tiny Token Empires is an amazing mix-it’s a puzzle game, « Match 3 » game and turn-based strategy game. Not just the amount of content in terms of levels and difficulties (which sadly has to be unlocked via pay wall), but the different combinations of army, the base building, and the inclusion of artifacts all make for an experience that should keep strategy fans busy for quite a while. Each mission comes with primary and secondary objectives, as well as a humorous narrative lampooning the cultures and characters of the time.Īs a strategy game, there's a lot of meat here. Once you've filled a unit's turn gauge, you can spend a turn sending them to attack, which will hopefully either destroy your enemy, or put a dent in their ranks.Īside from combat, you'll be taking over neighboring nations for gold and artifacts, while upgrading your bases to provide defense, and the buildings required to build certain types of army personal (which each army token can have any combination of five). You swap gems to create rows of three or more of the same gem to earn health, power, and other perks. It's hard enough getting the game to register that you want to move a particular token, but then the area you want to drop that unit in will sometimes not recognize your finger over it. Both require movement by dragging tokens and tapping on menus. There is the combat screen, and the over-world. There are two main screens a player will become familiar with over the course of the game. Tiny Token Empires makes light of these global conflicts in a turn based strategy game that meshes risk, puzzle quest, and the base building of the real time strategy genre. The politics of the ancient world are always good fodder for gaming, mainly due to the main solution to the problems of two nations in that day was to go to war with each other.
