Art of War: Red Tides

Choose one of three races and assemble a force of ten unit types from its roster. The game frames you as a commander directing a team against enemy forces.

Before each wave, use a 12-second preparation window to assess the battle and send units suited to the opposition. Troops fight automatically, so your decisions focus on composition, timing, and countering enemy choices rather than direct unit control.

Coordinate with teammates, use Commander Skills, and push through enemy defenses by destroying three turrets and then the base. The three races offer different units and tactical options to experiment with across battles.

Players who enjoy the game often highlight its tactical unit selection, counterplay, and varied race rosters, along with the satisfaction of coordinating team matches. Some also praise its sci-fi visuals. Other reviews mention long matchmaking waits, difficulty learning its mechanics, and concerns about balance or ongoing support.
