The Fires UnKnown

A turn-based tactics game played on a hex grid. Twenty maps, each one finished in 20 to 40 minutes.

NOTHING IS LEFT TO LUCK Combat is computed in whole numbers, with no random rolls anywhere. The damage figure shown before you attack is not a forecast — it is exactly what will happen. The same position always plays out the same way. You cannot blame a loss on the dice, but every win is one you actually earned.

TAKE IT BACK UNTIL YOU COMMIT Tap a unit and its movement range appears in blue, its firing range in red. You pick where to move first and choose the action afterwards, so nothing is locked in until you say so. The game saves after every move, so you can stop mid-battle and pick it up later.

THE GROUND MATTERS Plains, forest, mountain, river, sea, road, city, factory, port, airfield. Each one changes how much cover a unit gets and how much movement it costs. Hide in the trees, put a mountain at your back, race down a road to close the gap. Maps with open water turn on transports and landings; the larger maps turn on holding cities to grow your income.

TWENTY MAPS, ONE STORY A ceasefire order never reached the front line. What follows is a war that should never have happened. Each map opens with a short briefing, and finishing all twenty plays the ending.

WHO YOU PLAY Against the AI at three levels, or two players passing one device back and forth.

TWELVE LANGUAGES English, 日本語, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Русский, Italiano, Bahasa Indonesia.

PLAYS OFFLINE The only thing that needs a connection is the ads. In airplane mode the game itself still runs.

WHAT IT COSTS Maps 1 to 10 open one at a time: clear a map, watch one ad, move on. Maps 11 to 20 unlock together for a single payment, available from the very start. There is nothing else to buy.
