Tiny Battles Review

For this Tiny Battles Review, a tactical action auto-battler where battles take place automatically in the arena. Build the right units for your strategy – early attack, midgame, or consistent late-game build with ultimate units for victory – the choice is yours.

Tiny Battles Review Pros:

Decent pixel art graphics.
146.47MB download size.
Steam achievements.
Graphics settings – fullscreen.
Game speed can be toggled – 1, 1.5, and 2.
Auto battler gameplay.
Game settings – show health bar, and show damage.
Six races to play as.
15 opponents to choose from with 5 available initially.
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.
