Soldiers Runner

Troops line up behind you the second you start moving in Soldiers Runner, and that's the whole engine of the game: gather more soldiers as you run, then throw that growing army at whatever's blocking the lane. Enemies show up fast, and every one you defeat adds to the pile of rewards waiting at the end.

The great wall at the end of each level is the real target. Punch through it and the grand prize behind it gets bigger than the last time, so there's always a reason to push one more level instead of stopping. Along the way you're grabbing upgrades that make your growing squad hit harder.

It's built for quick sessions on desktop or mobile, no download needed, so you can queue it up between other games in the Action games section. If you want another mindless-but-satisfying runner style pick after this, Deadly Descent and Stick Merge both scratch a similar itch.

Gather as many troops as you can while running, defeat the enemies in your path, and smash through the great wall at the end of each level to claim the grand prize, which grows bigger every level you clear.

On desktop, move with A/D or the Left/Right arrow keys. On mobile, swipe left or right to move and turn. Grab upgrades and rewards as they appear to keep your troop count climbing.

Don't rush past every soldier you see - the bigger your gathered army going into the wall, the better your shot at breaking through cleanly.
