What’s Simple Lands Online?
Simple Lands Online is a fresh take on the classic text-based strategy game that has recently hit the Google Play Store. Originally a browser game, it now brings its engaging gameplay to mobile devices, combining old-school charm with modern twists. In Simple Lands Online, you embark on a journey to build your empire from the ground up. The game masterfully balances the thrill of risk and reward in its battle system. Should an attack not go as planned, your losses are limited to 25%, allowing you to regroup and strategize without losing your entire army. Similarly, on the defensive side, you won't lose more than 20% of your forces, ensuring you always have a fallback position. This thoughtful design prevents players from mindlessly spamming attacks and encourages more strategic gameplay.
Lead your troops—infantry, archers, and cavalry—into battle across five diverse regions where every decision you make has consequences. The espionage system adds an exciting layer, allowing you to train spies to infiltrate enemy lines, either to pilfer resources or gather crucial intelligence. However, beware of enemy watchtowers that could thwart your espionage efforts and capture your spies.
Starting from nothing, you'll progress by managing your resources and troops, navigating alliances, and contending with rival factions. Building your empire involves researching technology to enhance production and training additional units to strengthen your military might. While combat is central to Simple Lands Online, managing your kingdom is equally important. This includes assigning workers, optimizing production, and making the most of your available resources.
The game keeps track of your battles through detailed battle logs, which are invaluable for planning your next moves or seeking retribution after a defeat. Simple Lands Online is free to play and available for download on the Google Play Store.
