Our take on Controware
The defining mechanic is troop allocation: forces accumulate automatically, while the player decides how many to send against each enemy tower.
What is Controware?
Controware is a strategy game about fighting for control of towers in a space-warfare setting.
Each level begins with several towers on the map, and the player chooses which enemy tower to attack. Troops then move toward the selected tower and attempt to seize it. The player decides how many troops to commit, balancing the chance of victory against potential losses. Sending too few can reduce the likelihood of taking the tower, while sending too many can cost more warriors. A level is completed by capturing every tower. Troop numbers increase automatically every few seconds, and troop management is the main control system.
