- BattleTabs is a turn-based competitive strategy game that pits Vikings vs sea monsters
- Duke it out with other players in frenetic multiplayer
- Or take your time with the ultra-laid back 24-hour turn timer
Back in the days of yore when Adobe Flash was probably the biggest engine out there, the simple pleasure of two diametrically opposed forces clashing in cartoonish carnage was all the rage. Now, developer Gangbusters Ltd is looking to bring back just a little of that vibe with the new game BattleTabs.
BattleTabs pits Vikings against sea monsters as you duke it out in fun and frenetic PvP. Build your own custom fleet and fight in a Battleship-inspired strategic clash that mixes both cartoonish action and plenty of surprising depth to your tactics.
Of course, people live busy lives! And if you don’t have the time to even get into a match of BattleTabs, how about trying out the 24-hour turn mode instead? Make a move each day for a slower-paced and more thoughtful attempt to demolish your opponent.
Cartoony but smart
When it comes to strategic battles that go for a cartoony aesthetic, there tends to be a fine line between adorable and annoying. Fortunately, I think BattleTabs falls into the former, with a bevvy of different strategic options and more that seem to be available, it will surely give even the most demanding of strategy players plenty to toy with.
In the meantime, if you’re itching to give your tactics a go elsewhere, why not take some time to try out some of the other awesome releases already out there? We’ve collated them all on our list of the top 25 best strategy games for iOS, and we also have an equivalent list for Android to boot!
