One Man Army: Battle Game

Dragon flames on one side, cannon fire on the other, and you're the only one standing between them and your gate. That's the loop that keeps pulling you back into One Man Army: Battle Game - one more wave, one more upgrade, just to see if your armor holds.

This is a casual single-player battle game, but don't mistake casual for easy. Every level throws a new mix of arrows, cannons and dragon flames at you, and surviving means reading the attack pattern before it lands, not after. Upgrade your armor between rounds and you'll feel the difference the next time a cannonball comes screaming in.

It plays great in short bursts if you're the type who likes 1 Player Games you can pick up between other things, and it rewards the kind of sharp timing you'd bring to any of the site's Reaction Games. If you like your battles up close and personal, it sits nicely alongside Combat Games like Deadly Descent.

No download, no install, just you, your reflexes and a dragon that really wants to ruin your day.

Survive each wave of enemy attacks and defend yourself long enough to clear the level. Arrows, cannon fire and dragon flames all come at you in different patterns, so your job is to react fast and stay standing.

Use the on-screen controls to move, defend and strike back as attacks come in, then spend what you earn on armor upgrades between levels. Better armor means you can shrug off hits that would have ended an earlier run.

Watch the attack telegraphs closely before you commit to a dodge or block - reacting a beat early beats reacting fast but wrong.
