About the game

What is Pocket Invaders?

Since eons ago, two ancient civilizations are fighting a never-ending battle. Both worlds use all their fleets and intelligence in a dispute that will define the future of their planets. Pocket Invaders recreates a retro atmosphere in a strategic game, with a universe in which the maneuverability of your ships is as crucial as luck when introducing new units in your fleet. Inspired by Shogi ••• Desde hace eones, dos antiguas civilizaciones se enfrentan a una eterna batalla. Ambos mundos usarán toda su flota y su inteligencia en una batalla que definirá el futuro de sus planetas. Pocket Invaders recrea una atmósfera retro dentro de la estrategia. Un universo donde hay que tener en cuenta el movimiento de tus naves y el azar al introducir nuevas invasoras a tu ejército. ••• Seit Ewigkeiten kämpfen zwei uralte Zivilisationen einen nie enden wollenden Krieg. Beide Welten verwenden sowohl ihre Kriegsflotte als auch ihre Intelligenz in einem Streit, der die Zukunft ihrer Welten bestimmen wird. Pocket invaders stellt eine retro-Atmosphäre in einem strategischen Spiel dar; ein Universum, in dem die Wendigkeit deiner Schiffe so wichtig ist, wie dein Glück, wenn du neue Einheiten in deiner Flotte einbringst.
