On their own, individual pixels seem small and insignificant, but when you put hordes of them together, their value becomes readily apparent. No, we’re not talking about retro videogame art – this is war. It’s a war fought by throngs of tiny, pissed-off glowing pixels. It’s a war that will draw you into its fold and completely annihilate any chances of escape. Thought you were going to get some work done today? Think again. Pixel Legions is calling.
You can send your soldiers around the battlefield with a click or draw a specific path for them to follow, and they’ll automatically attack any nearby enemies they come into contact with. Smaller pockets of soldiers form together into larger swarms, and size definitely matters when things get crazy. Attacking enemies from multiple sides, sending a smaller team ahead of a larger force to stop a base from producing enemy units, and pushing across the map en-masse are only a few possible strategies. The maps themselves also throw in clever tricks to capitalize on. You’ll find levels with power pylons that beef up your army strength, impassible walls and choke points, random bombing runs that indiscriminately destroy pixels within blasting range, and more. If you’ve got a strategy gaming itch, Pixel Legions is a quick and awesome way to scratch it. Check it out atPixelante.
