Our take on Square Wars
Every match begins with each player controlling a single square, then builds toward full-map domination through resource gathering, territorial expansion, battles, and card use.
What is Square Wars?
Square Wars is a rogue-lite strategy game about expanding territory from a single starting square.
Players collect resources such as gold and stone, develop their territory, attack rival regions, and direct armies in real-time battles. Special cards can alter the course of a match by providing situational advantages. Maps are generated randomly, creating different layouts and challenges across games. The stated objective is to conquer every region and control the map. Play options include solo, local co-op with one friend, and online multiplayer, with opportunities to cooperate or compete against other players.
