About
WarForwards is a turn-based strategy game centered on tactical combat and careful planning. Battles take place on grid-based maps where positioning, timing, and unit management determine victory.
The game emphasizes deliberate decision-making over fast reflexes, rewarding players who enjoy thinking several moves ahead.
Each encounter challenges players to deploy and maneuver units efficiently while responding to enemy actions. Success depends on understanding unit strengths, terrain advantages, and turn order rather than overwhelming force.
WarForwards is designed for fans of classic tactical war games who prefer structured, rule-driven combat.
The presentation is clean and functional, keeping attention on the battlefield and tactical choices. There are no distractions from progression systems or narrative layers — the focus remains squarely on strategy and combat.
This is a single-player tactical strategy experience aimed at players who value planning, structure, and replayability.

Nice Artwork Nice Gameplay Why this game not support controller
https://youtu.be/tNFHQicNiow First day at war game shooter school turns into a real mess when this visual novel mixed with twin stick shooter thrusts the protagonist into trouble over nothing and tries to build drama over it.
The game is pretty simple top-down shooter with insane difficulty and constant struggle against all odds. Too hard to be fun. The story is nothing to write home about. Some of the character art is pretty good. Nice gun sounds. Kinda reminds me of crimsonland. Just less enemies on the screen and extreme difficulty.
Отличная игра в своём жанре. Очень понравилось, что есть большой арсенал оружия на любой вкус. От пистолетов до гранатомётов и тяжёлых пулемётов. Радует, что стволы отличаются не только внешним видом и звуком, но и своими характеристиками, это реально заметно. Например у пары стволов есть подствольный гранатомёт, который позволит вам не бросать гранаты, от которых все противники успевают разбежаться, а полноценно стрелять ими во вражин (против щитовиков отличная вешь). Противники кстати разнообразные, от обычных автоматчиков до джаггернаутов со щитом и пулемётами. Кроме этого так-же есть надоедливые дроны-камикадзе, стационарные и движущиеся турели и даже что-то вроде БМП. У сюжетной кампании вроде есть несколько концовок (зависит от выбора в диалогах), но честно говоря проходить второй раз я бы не стал, т.к. уже на нормальном уровне сложности игра заставляет потеть и перепроходить один уровень несколько раз. Не забывайте про нож на ПКМ, очень спасает в трудных ситуациях. Порадовало, что кроме сюжетки есть режим выживания, где игра раскрывается на полную. Тут тебе и перки, которых в сюжетке не было и свободный выбор оружия. Полноценная песочница, где можно собрать любой билд и разлекаться. За свои деньги очень достойная игра, рекомендую!
超出预期的不错
While some games are difficult through good design, this feels like the opposite. Enemies swarm you without warning, Bosses are complete bullet sponges, no way to replenish medkits during missions, checkpoints are inconsistent (sometimes it saves during a boss, sometimes it won't) too many ways to interrupt reloading, which I may add can be painfully slow. I'm sure game appeals to hardcore top down shooter players out there but for most people this game is simply too frustrating to be fun.
pretty alright, but the difficulty is pretty nutty since this is a pretty simple game (think of those flash games in the 2000s) but the art sprites are done really well
перезарядка душит, но игра своих денег стоит
Весело, сюжет, неплохое кол-во оружия! Но как шутер ощущается странно. По скидке можно прикупить и пройти сюжет!
Even though this is a 2D game its pretty damn Hardcore. The Story and Survival Modes are Fantastic.
