Stick War: Saga

What kind of strategy game this is

Stick War: Saga is a real-time multiplayer strategy game set around the clash of the Order and Chaos empires. Battles run live, and the listing describes both player-versus-player matches and single-player play against AI opponents.

It suits players who want fast strategic fights against other people, with a single-player campaign and AI matches for practice before they try the multiplayer side.

Live PvP and 2v2 matches

In player-versus-player matches you can take control of any unit at any time, not only issue orders before a fight starts. The listing also includes 2v2 matches, where you add friends and fight as a team.

The developer states that purchases do not buy power in combat, describing the game as free of pay-for-power mechanics.

Building a custom battle deck

Your deck is made from army types you collect and unlock, which the listing says is a growing selection. You can add upgrades to the deck and research army bonuses to strengthen the units you field.

Spells include a giant bubble that blocks incoming projectiles and Snow Squall, which freezes entire legions. The Rune of Reanimation makes poisoned enemy units respawn as zombies, which the listing calls Deads. Generals from the major nations can also join your deck, such as Prince Atreyos of the Speartons and Princess Kytchu of the Archidons.

Campaign and AI practice

The single-player campaign is described as huge and expanding. Practice matches against AI opponents let you test deck builds and strategies before taking them into PvP.

Customizing units and watching replays

Cosmetic options include skins for your troops, statues in shiny gold, custom voice lines and emotes. The listing presents these as ways to personalise your army and battlefield.

Replays can be watched and shared. You can pause, rewind and fast forward them, and view a match from any of the players' perspectives.
