WW2: Sandbox, Strategy & Tactics - Indie app of the day

What is WW2: Sandbox, Strategy & Tactics

WW2: Sandbox, Strategy & Tactics is a strategy game where you must build your army and defeat your opponents. The game board and mechanics are reminiscent of the classic board game Risk so if you’ve played that, you know what you’re getting into. The game is free to demo and you can purchase the full version as an in app purchase for around $2US. It’s also the sequel to another Herocraft game of a similar name. The main difference is that this game removes historical restrictions and lets you just play.

Here’s how you play the game. You will play on a map of the world. Your territories have troops assigned to them. You can build more troops or use your current troops to attack your opponents. Since this is a WW2 themed game, the territories, opponents, and general theme are from that era. You can also coordinate attacks if you have multiple territories nearby. You’ll also use ground troops as well as air troops and artillery.

The graphics are about as good as you can expect from a digital version of a board game. The controls aren’t confusing but they are complex and we highly recommend you use the tutorial if you start playing so you can understand what’s happening. WW2: Sandbox, Strategy & Tactics uses a statistic called Operational Index that forces you to slow down if you’re making too many moves at once. For the most part, everything is pretty straightforward.
