Need More Troops

Nice game to spend time when you are waiting for the next big HMM release. Auto-battles are pretty fun, so do increase your army numbers. Higher difficulty levels are not for me, I liked to chill on the first and second ones, though. Waiting for updates.

Hugely enjoyable auto-battler (not normally my scene!!). Struggled at first as I did not split my troops - you can't get much past the first battle if you don't. This is a bit of a "Russian Doll" type of game where you will find yourself gradually peeling back the layers as you go along. A great value for money title.

Need More Tutorial

This game doesn't have any story, just battles after battles. And a few "economic" decisions. But it fits this game really well - it's definitely not about the story. Devs, I know that this is EA but for God sake, made Victory and Lose windows ASAP!!!

Need More Troops is a compact but surprisingly engaging strategy title developed and published by Challenging Games. Built around the idea of assembling an army and surviving through a succession of battles, it combines elements of roguelites, auto battlers, and tactical management into a package that is easy to understand but difficult to master. Instead of relying on an elaborate story or extensive world-building, the game focuses entirely on its gameplay loop, inviting players to experiment with unit compositions and discover increasingly effective strategies through repeated playthroughs. The game's premise is refreshingly straightforward. Players recruit soldiers, arrange their positions on the battlefield, and watch as combat unfolds automatically. While this may initially suggest a passive experience, Need More Troops places considerable emphasis on planning and decision-making. Every run introduces different opportunities and challenges, forcing players to adapt their tactics rather than relying on a single winning formula. The variety of available units and upgrades creates a sense of discovery, and finding powerful combinations becomes one of the game's biggest strengths. Success often depends less on the size of an army and more on how efficiently its members work together. One of the most impressive aspects of the game is how it balances accessibility with depth. New players can quickly grasp the basics within a few minutes, but later encounters reveal a much more demanding experience. Enemy formations become increasingly dangerous, requiring thoughtful positioning and careful resource management. The roguelite progression system ensures that failure is rarely frustrating, as each unsuccessful attempt contributes toward future unlocks and a better understanding of the game's mechanics. This constant cycle of experimentation and improvement gives the game a compelling sense of momentum and keeps its relatively simple concept from becoming stale too quickly. Visually, Need More Troops adopts a pixel-art aesthetic that favors clarity over visual extravagance. Units are easy to distinguish during crowded battles, and the interface remains intuitive throughout. Although it lacks the visual spectacle of larger strategy releases, the minimalist presentation complements the gameplay well. The soundtrack serves a similar purpose, providing a pleasant backdrop that enhances the atmosphere without drawing attention away from the tactical elements. Together, the audio and visuals create a cohesive experience that feels polished despite its modest production values. The game's replayability is undoubtedly one of its greatest assets. Randomized rewards, varying enemy encounters, and multiple strategic paths encourage players to approach each run differently. The progression systems provide a steady stream of incentives to continue playing, and the short session length makes it easy to return for another attempt. At the same time, the limited scope of the game becomes more noticeable after extended play. Players looking for a narrative-driven campaign or a vast amount of content may eventually feel that they have seen most of what the game has to offer. While the mechanics remain enjoyable, the experience does show signs of repetition after many hours. Despite these limitations, Need More Troops succeeds by delivering exactly what it promises: a focused and entertaining blend of strategy and roguelite gameplay. It understands its strengths and avoids overcomplicating its design with unnecessary systems. The result is a game that rewards experimentation, strategic thinking, and persistence. Challenging Games has crafted an experience that feels approachable for newcomers while still offering enough tactical complexity to satisfy genre enthusiasts. Rating: 6/10

I don't get it. Super boring and confusing.

어렵당...

Dieses Spiel kann süchtig machen. In Anbetracht des Preises, ist es ein tolles Angebot, also kann ich es definitiv empfehlen.

A solid blend of the Auto-Battler, Strategy (HoMM-style, in particular), and Roguelite genres. There isn't a ton of content, and it isn't perfectly polished. I played a couple hours and feel done with the game, more or less. But for a dollar, that's perfectly fine. Those couple hours were good fun. I mentioned a lack of polish, but nothing about the game was buggy or frustrating, either, and that's more than I can say for most AAA games. Definitely worth a spin if you've got a dollar burning a hole in your pocket and enjoy simple strategy games.

Juegazo!!! aunque no lo entiendo del todo :v me muero en la dificultad más fácil :c
