You start as the human race and have to earn stars to unlock the other races.
The goal of the game is to get into your enemy’s base and destroy it.
You have a grid on the far left where you buy, sell, and place troops then every X amount of seconds (it changes depending on the battle) that the army spawns in.
Mines in the world can be controlled to create money faster.
Gold is earned over time, it goes faster with mines and you can sell unwanted troops.
Unlock powerful troops by unlocking the upgrades in the game with gold.
You can buy increased health or increased damage overall with huge gold purchases.
A mini-map at the bottom shows real-time action and is split into sections, clicking a section moves the screen there.
It’s a strategic tug-of-war battle.
Very satisfying when you see your army completely wipe out the enemy in a blur of damage numbers and arrows.

Tiny Battles Review Cons:

No tutorial.
There isn’t a quick and easy way to lay down or sell a bulk of characters at once. (it has the hold shift key but it’s not always ideal)
Games can go on for a long time.
Takes some getting used to.
Matches start slow and take a while to get going.
Cannot save upon hitting the exit or even have a prompt so hitting by accident is an instant back to the menu.
Only the one-game type.
You cannot add or change the placement of archer towers or other race structures.

Summary

Tiny Battles is an auto battler game that offers a strategic tug-of-war battle experience. It features decent pixel art graphics and has a download size of 146.47MB. The game offers Steam achievements and allows for graphics settings such as fullscreen.

The game speed can be toggled between 1, 1.5, and 2. There are six races to play as, with the human race being the starting point. Players must earn stars to unlock the other races. There are 15 opponents to choose from, with 5 available initially. The goal of the game is to get into your enemy’s base and destroy it.

The gameplay involves a grid on the far left where players can buy, sell, and place troops. Every X amount of seconds (which changes depending on the battle), the army spawns. Mines in the world can be controlled to create money faster. Gold is earned over time, and it accumulates faster with mines. Unwanted troops can be sold for gold.

Players can unlock powerful troops by unlocking the upgrades in the game with gold. Increased health or damage can be purchased with large amounts of gold. A mini-map at the bottom shows real-time action and is split into sections. Clicking a section moves the screen there.

Despite its engaging gameplay, Tiny Battles has some areas for improvement. There is no tutorial, and the game takes some getting used to. Matches start slow and take a while to get going. There isn’t a quick and easy way to lay down or sell a bulk of characters at once, and games can go on for a long time.

Additionally, the game does not save upon hitting exit, and there is no prompt, so accidentally exiting leads to an instant return to the menu. There is only one game type, and players cannot add or change the placement of archer towers or other race structures. Despite these issues, the game can be very satisfying, especially when you see your army completely wipe out the enemy in a blur of damage numbers and arrows.
