Our take on Rockets, Planes, Soldiers
The core combat follows a three-way counter cycle: rockets beat soldiers, soldiers beat planes, and planes beat rockets. Resource timing determines whether to attack early or hold back for a larger push.
What is Rockets, Planes, Soldiers?
This turn-based strategy game uses a hex-grid board and rock-paper-scissors-style unit matchups: rockets defeat soldiers, soldiers defeat planes, and planes defeat rockets.
Each turn involves choosing whether to deploy units quickly and attack or wait to gather resources for a stronger push. The campaign adds upgrades as battles progress, increasing the tactical decisions beyond the simple starting rules. Maps are procedurally generated, so each playthrough uses a different map. The game combines short, clear unit relationships with resource timing and campaign progression.
