GUNS UP!

GUNS UP! is a side-scrolling strategy game where you build a military base and lead attacks on other players’ defenses. Its battles combine real-time troop deployment with tower-defense planning. In asynchronous player-versus-player battles, you send units across the battlefield and support them with special abilities such as smokescreens and bombing runs. Victories can provide loot, resources, and special abilities to take into later fights. At your base, you arrange and upgrade defensive structures, recruit and improve soldier classes, and customize your forces. Units can gain veterancy, while medals permanently boost their stats; alliances can also compete for seasonal rewards.

Build defenses and send troops against rival bases, using battlefield abilities to support attacks and strengthen your army.
