Our take on AlexanderBall: A Countryball Tale
The pitch puts large army-combination counts and a world-spanning empire front and center, but the described play also hinges on managing governors and subject opinions. The campaign’s scope is framed through Alexander’s conquests, with local PvP as a separate mode.
What is AlexanderBall: A Countryball Tale?
Play as Alexander the Great, recruit different types of countryballs, and lead them through a campaign based on his conquests.
Battles use turn-based tactics: units can flank, fortify, or charge, while limited action points shape what the army can do each turn. The campaign also involves gaining allies through gold or glory, appointing governors from Alexander’s companions, and managing subjects’ opinions. Companions develop as the story progresses, with cutscenes accompanying key moments. Army composition can vary across campaigns, and local PvP lets two players test different combinations of units and generals in offline battles.
