Stick War: Legacy

Build an army, then take control

Stick War: Legacy is a strategy game for players who want to manage an army and take part in its battles. You gather gold, recruit different kinds of stick-figure soldiers and send them across the field to attack the opposing force and its statue. You can also take direct control of individual units, shifting between the larger plan and a single fighter’s actions.

Choose how to fight

Unit choice matters: melee fighters, archers and other troops bring different roles to a battle, so sending the same force every time may not work. You’ll need to weigh the cost of recruiting against the need to defend your side and press an attack. The simple side-on battlefield keeps the action easy to follow while you make those decisions.

Campaign and survival play

The campaign gives you a sequence of battles to work through, while survival-style play offers a different test: keep your forces going as enemy waves build. These modes suit both players looking for a guided run through the game and those who would rather see how long their strategy holds up. Stick War: Legacy is a fit for strategy fans who enjoy hands-on combat as well as resource and troop management.
