Army
12 games
Description
An army game is really a resource question wearing a uniform: what you build, where you put it, and whether it'll still be standing in four waves' time.
Epic Empire: Tower Defense is the clearest version - fixed lanes, placement decisions, and a wave counter that doesn't care how clever you thought you were being. My Army Base puts the building first and the fighting second. Age of Tanks Warriors: TD War swaps towers for armour, and War Nations.io replaces the computer with other people entirely.
There are 12 free games under this tag, all playable in the browser, and they reward patience with a layout far more than they reward clicking quickly at the right moment.
The pure lane-defence end of it lives in Tower Defense games, and Tactical Games is the tag for anything where placement matters more than reflexes.
