Soldiers Inc: Mobile Warfare is a free-to-play multiplayer real-time strategy game for mobile devices. In it, you take command of a division of mercenary soldiers and battle with other players and computer-controlled opponents to control territory and expand your forces. You can form alliances with other players, allowing you to chat and plan your strategy together. Resource management, alertness and planning are more important here than reflexes or combat skills, despite the military theme, this is mainly a resource-management game.

Battles and budgets

Fans of the mobile strategy genre will find plenty to like in Soldiers Inc: Mobile Warfare. There's a lot of accessible low-level content, which is nice. The graphics are attractive and the interface is simple and easy to use. However, if you're looking for battle action, you're in the wrong place, combat is completely abstract. You assign units to a fight, then get to see the results. This game is much more about resources and logistics. Like many free-to-play games, it also has a lot of timers which can lead to a frustrating experience. The goal, of course, is to encourage you to make in-app purchases, and while that's understandable it can still be a little aggravating.

Fun for the management-minded

If the part of strategy games that you really like is base-building and resource management, Soldiers Inc: Mobile Warfare might be right for you. Others may find it a little slow.
