Iron Tide Tactics

Iron Tide Tactics is a strategy game that respects your brain. Each mission drops you onto a small island grid and asks you to hold the line against waves of attackers using limited units. Positioning matters far more than raw numbers.

I love that you can pause and think as long as you want. There's no real-time panic, just a puzzle that unfolds one move at a time. Later maps introduce terrain effects and unit synergies that force you to rethink your favourite tactics.

It's dense but never unfair, and it saves your progress locally. Perfect for chipping away at one hard level during a commute.
