Tile Battle delivers a fresh take on strategy gameplay through its unique unit control system. Players drop directional tiles on a top-down grid to steer both their units and enemy forces across the battlefield. Destroy the foe's base to halt reinforcements, then wipe out their army for the win, all in tense local multiplayer matches for 2-4 players.
Pick from three factions like Marauders, The Guild, or Haunted, each with distinct base units, special units, and three abilities such as fireball or Undying buff. Battle on 18 maps tailored to player counts, tweak settings like spawn rates and game speed, and manage a limit of five active tiles with a removal cooldown. Casual indie fans who love quick sessions with friends will find depth in faction matchups and custom rules.
Tile Battle focuses on a unique unit control system that allows players to control the flow of their units as well as their enemies. Players place tiles onto the top-down grid to direct units across the battlefield. Destroy an enemies base to stop reinforcements then finish off their remaining army to claim victory. Tile Battle is easy to jump into but various factions, abilities, and gameplay settings provide more depth to be discovered for returning players.

GAMEPLAY
Units and Bases
Each player starts the round with bases that automatically spawn units. Units walk in a straight line until they bump into a wall and turn around. Units will automatically engage in combat when they get close enough to attack an enemy. A player wins the game when all enemy units and bases are destroyed.
Moving Units
The player uses their cursor to place direction tiles (left, right, up, down) onto a grid space. When a unit of any team walks onto a directional tile they will change to walk the direction of the tile. Tiles need to be used both offensively to get your units to the enemy base and defensively to redirect enemies away from your own base. This becomes more challenging because you are limited to 5 active tiles. Players have the ability to remove a tile on a cooldown to sabotage an enemy's plan or to help push through their defenses.
Factions
Players can choose from one of three factions before the game starts. Choose between Marauders, The Guild, and Haunted. Each faction has its own unique base unit with two additional special units. Play each faction to discover their varying strengths and weaknesses.
Abilities
Each faction comes with three unique abilities to choose from. Players pick their faction ability before the game starts. Abilities range from the offensive fireball to the buff spell Undying which empowers units and delays their death.
Game Settings
Customize gameplay parameters to fit you and your friend's play style. Change game speed, spawn rates, sudden death settings and much more. Easily save and load presets to quickly get back to your favorite settings.
About the developer
Created by LadrikDev: This is my first completed entry into the indie game scene. My goals with Tile Battle were to approach the RTS genre from a new angle and create something unique for local multiplayer fans. Thanks for taking a look at my game.
