When you're a lone soldier in unfamiliar territory, you might be tempted to build your forces back up like in Hex Wars. You are a soldier in an unknown land who has been stranded on a small piece of it. You're not helpless though since you have all the skills to harvest and survive so that you can make it back to the mainland. While you try to make your way home, you may encounter opposition that is not too happy to see you. You can only do so much and sometimes that includes having to defend yourself against enemies.

About Hex Wars

The hex tiles are a common piece of strategy game, whether you're leading armed forces or just trying to set up trade routes. This game definitely goes for the first option, but resources are still very necessary to succeed in your mission. This may be about trying to establish a new base or just trying to expand enough until you make it home. You'll need to balance between harvesting, building, and fighting as your land grows. You can't do everything alone, so you'll need to turn what you can gather into strength and then push forward to reach new lands.

How to Play

Hex Wars is a 3D isometric strategy and survival game where you're trying to cover as much land as possible using the mouse. To move the soldier, hold down the Left Mouse Button and drag the cursor in the direction you want to move. The soldier will perform actions automatically when he gets in range of the right prompt. The goal is to expand your territory and grow your forces so that you can claim control. If the leader falls, you'll need to try a different strategy.

When you begin, the soldier will have access to little save for a few trees. To harvest resources, the soldier needs to move close to their source and then start gathering them. Sources will refill over time and the soldier can hold a fair amount. There will be tiles and buildings that will have resource costs to build them. The more you build, the more space you'll have to build more facilities and access new resources. It also increases your encounters with enemy forces who will attack once in range as will you. Health bars will appear above each unit and when that empties, the unit will be defeated.

Tips and Tricks

You'll need to keep discovering if you want to make progress and discover new things. If you reach a bunch of prompts that require resources you don't have, invest in tiles you can afford to hopefully reveal some. If you're feeling outnumbered, take a moment to retreat, recover, and gather forces before heading back to fight.
