Strategy
Tideline Command
★★★★☆ 4.2
Tideline Command is a compact real-time strategy game that trims the fat. You manage a handful of island outposts, route supplies between them, and fend off waves that get smarter as you go. It's less about massive armies and more about clean decisions under pressure.
The touch interface is clearly designed for phones first. Dragging units and setting rally points feels natural, and the camera never fights you. That alone puts it ahead of a lot of mobile strategy games that just port awkward PC controls.
Difficulty ramps up fairly, and each map forces you to rethink your approach. Losing rarely feels cheap — usually you can point to the exact decision that sank you. That's the mark of a good strategy game.
