Top War: Battle Game is a strategy tower defense mobile game. The graphic style of this game is very cartoony and cute. The content of the game is also very special because players need to recruit their soldiers in the game and command their troops to attack and occupy the territory and expand their strength.

First of all, the design of this game pays great attention to details and is very user-friendly. Unlike the vast majority of SLG games that use a horizontal screen, Top War chose a vertical screen design, which also laid a "light" tone for this game. Overall, after a year of debugging, the biggest difference between Top War and most SLGs on the market is the addition of synthesis and placement gameplay. The Top War "synthesis" gameplay is indeed very impressive in the game and runs through the entire game. Top War abandons the setting of waiting time for players to upgrade buildings, arms, etc., but uses "synthesis" to upgrade buildings, arms, etc. Players only need to drag 2 buildings/arms of the same level to synthesize and then increase by one level, which is completely out of the traditional model. In the follow-up, multiple modes of rapid synthesis of buildings will be enabled. The buildings or soldiers of the same level only need to be dragged once to automatically and directly synthesize the highest level, which saves the trouble of manually dragging and synthesizing multiple times. The design of the game's compositing features brings many benefits. First of all, using synthesis to upgrade buildings, arms will significantly shorten the waiting time for players, especially in the late game, buildings, arms, and technology upgrades require a long and boring waiting time. Playing SLG games, sometimes you will wait. I don't remember it now, just wait for the game prompt to recall it. Synthetic gameplay can reduce the boredom of players and increase the fun of the game. Secondly, the synthetic gameplay is more casual, and it mostly appears in small-scale casual games, and other types of games in the past also have the gameplay of synthesizing new items with different materials. Although it appears in SLG, players need to adapt, but the cognitive threshold is not very high.

Moreover, this game adopts the European and American cartoon style, and the Q version of the characters, buildings, and vehicle shapes are all familiar to people. But if you think about it carefully, in the top 200 games in the European and American markets, there seem to be not many SLG games that use a combination of these elements at the same time. At this level, the game has some recognizable advantages in terms of subject matter.

In addition, the game is very light but not simple. In this game, in addition to synthetic gameplay, Top War also draws on the gameplay of card placement mobile games. As shown in the video below, the interface of the battle between the two sides is not much different from the card placement type battle: after selecting a hero and arm, the battle is automatically completed. This is very different from traditional SLG games such as the Shore of the Earth, Awakening of Nations, etc.: to choose this gameplay, players do not need to spend too much energy and keep staring at the battlefield, and only need to place the corresponding heroes and soldiers. That's it. In addition, Top War can also adjust the battle speed, reaching a certain level or even skipping the battle directly. From the simplification of operation, Top War also hopes to find other users who are different from heavy SLG players. Although Top War is a mild SLG mobile game, he still retains the core gameplay of SLG games, including sandbox maps, alliances, and a grand worldview. In the exploration of mixed games, the choice between different gameplays, the implementation of the core gameplay, and the organic combination of other gameplays are very interesting topics. And Top War retains the core mechanism and gameplay of SLG, which makes Top War no less labor-saving than other SLGs in research and development, but by combining cards, placement, and other gameplay, the main purpose is to simplify the operation, speed up the game process, and become a user expansion and differentiation.

However, Top War: Battle Game lacks innovation. Similar to most of its kind, Top War: Battle Game is not a story-oriented game. It simply sets up an overhead opening analogous to the historical background of World War II, and directly brings the player (commander) into the game. Of course, after that, buildings and weapons The sense of technology brought by the upgrade will push the game background to a "near future" look. Judging from the experience, the background color of this game is completely the same type of SLG that domestic players are very familiar with. This misunderstanding of mine is related to settings such as game bases and plots.

On the whole, although the innovation is insufficient, many aspects of this game are very well done, and it is worth trying.
