## Description

Idle Army is a strategic merge game where you lead a squad, merge units, and endure waves of enemies. Gather new recruits and boost your firepower by combining Pistol, Rifle, Minigun, Bomber, Grenade, Rocket Launcher, Tank, Sniper, and Sharpshooter to counter attackers. Timing, formations, and a well-placed nuke can turn the tide, while Endless Mode tests your skills and reflexes. 

Customize your hero and your army as you wish—fight as a superhero or as an assassin, and push for the highest level to become the ultimate tycoon.
