Show HN: Meatshields – A free, online, turn-based strategy game
I made an in-browser game called Meatshields (https://meatshields.com https://meatshields.com) which allows players to play a turn-based strategy game against many different players simultaneously.
The game is heavily inspired by Advance Wars and I wanted to give people the multiplayer experience I loved from my childhood. I couldn't find an online version of the gameplay that I really loved (Advance Wars By Web (AWBW) is FANTASTIC, but there are actually a few gameplay mechanics in Advance Wars that I take issue with that I wanted to try to balance myself), so I decided to make my own.
It's still pretty rough around the edges in some aspects but the game is fully playable and has a tutorial and optional AI opponents if you don't want to fight real humans.
Right now it's just the ground units that have been slightly rebalanced, but a lot of the other great features of those games have been included.

- Baron_Von_Meats 10y agoYeah, a lot more than I was expecting which was probably super naive of me

- flashman 10y agoI'll have to take a look at this later. It kind of looks like a more strategic take on agar.io?
- vasili111 10y agoGuest mode (even view only) will be nice. Mandatory registration is not good.
