What is Warring States?

You command Qin's armies in a hex-grid tactical wargame set during ancient China's Warring States period, as rival states struggle for control. Across story missions, you maneuver units, exploit terrain and unit matchups, and earn Tactical Points to spend on special moves. Standalone battles pit you against AI or other players, locally or online.

For you if...

+you want tactical depth without overwhelming layers of complexity

Not for you if...

−you want real-time combat rather than alternating turns
−you expect base-building alongside battlefield command
