Stick War: Legacy

Stick War: Legacy is a mobile strategy game that grew out of a popular browser title. You lead an army of stick figures: you mine gold, train units and send them into battle. Troops can be commanded together in formation, or you can take direct control of a single fighter. Each mission comes down to toppling the enemy statue and claiming territory.

Your roster includes swordsmen, spearmen, archers, mages and even giants, and every class plays differently. The classic campaign follows the nation of Order in the world of Inamorta, surrounded by neighbours who worship their weapons, and it carries some bonus levels. For variety there is a zombie survival mode, a tournament against dozens of computer rivals, a saga-style map with rewards, crowns for three difficulty levels and skins with special perks. The developer says new missions arrive on Fridays.

It suits fans of tactical play with a resource economy and base building. Rated for 12+, as it features battles.
