Paper Craft Wars

About Paper Craft Wars

A real-time strategy game with role-playing edges and a cut-paper art style. You pick one of three races, capture buildings across sixty levels, and work through fourteen skills and six spells on the way to a very large monster. The pace is fast rather than deliberative, which the publisher says outright.

How to play

• Choose one of three races, each with a campaign of twenty levels.
• Capture buildings across the map, of which there are eleven varieties in three types.
• Learn skills and cast spells as the campaign develops.
• Six game modes are available.
• The campaign finishes against a single huge monster.

Tips

• Capturing buildings is the economy, so a level going badly is usually a map-control problem rather than a fighting one.
• Play one race through before starting another. Sixty levels split three ways is three short campaigns, and the later ones assume a familiarity you only get by finishing.
