About this game

Tactical War 2 is the sequel to the legendary tower defense where planning wins the war. Build and upgrade towers, time your waves, use abilities when it matters — or prove you can beat the odds without them! Defend your base against enemy squads.

If you love strategy and tower defense games where every move must be planned carefully, this one’s for you. The action unfolds in an alternate World War II universe: the Alliance and the Empire wage a brutal conflict using secret defensive tower tech. Choose your side and lead it to victory.

Features of Tactical War 2
- Alliance Campaign: 20 balanced levels × 3 modes (Campaign, Heroic challenge, Steel) — 60 unique missions in total. Find the right strategy for each.
- Hardcore Mode: maximum difficulty, fixed rules, boosters disabled — pure tactics and skill.
- 6 tower types: Machine Gun, Cannon, Sniper, Slower, Laser, and AA — everything you need to hold the line.
- Unique abilities: deploy special powers to turn the tide in tough situations.
- Research in the Hangar: develop secret technologies. Progress your upgrade tree using Research Points — earned only by playing, never sold.
- Optional one-use boosters: Grenade, EMP Grenade, +3 Lives, Start Capital, EMP Bomb, Nuke. The game is fully beatable without boosters.
- Air attacks: the enemy has aircraft! Adapt your strategy and prepare your AA defenses.
- Shielded enemies: use Laser towers to counter the Empire’s shield tech.
- Destructible props: clear obstacles to place towers on better strategic positions.

I much prefer the simple mechanics of this game over typical tower defense games with too many tower types and upgrade branches, heroes, etc... What's important here is placement, timing, when to upgrade versus build new, and whether to reset upgrades to boost a certain tower type (for free!) Really looking forward to the expansion, and love to see the classic approach persist in the genre.

waaay more difficult than v1. you don't get any bonuses for harder.versions of levels of the same stage. I've been barely scratching by on "easy" and then doing the."challenge" stages as they come. really missing those radar towers,.too! still a really good game. a bit too challenging for the rewards, tho. wish they'd had a middle-tier between the 2. cuz this game is set on HARD. STILL 4/5* Do check out their Death Rover. it's not exciting but it's kinda fun.

Not as good as the first one. The weapons are weaker in this game, and that's because they want you to spend money on there shop items. The sniper doesn't penetrate multiple buildings anymore; it only targets the one selected. The new weapon upgrade tree looks good, but the unlock points are limited. You get 10 point for every star on a map, so a total 30 per map. It becomes a struggle to upgrade once the maps get more challenging. So you're kind of led to spend money from their shop. Oh well.

Thanks for the candid feedback. Our goal isn’t pay-to-win: every mission can be cleared without purchases. Instead of grinding repeats like in TW1, TW2 uses two optional challenges per mission (shield/tank icons on the Level Details screen) — +20 Research Points each for upgrades. We’re also tuning the early difficulty curve based on player data.
