Description
"The combat is so rewarding you’ll find yourself completely hooked." -PocketGamer
One of Best Original Mobile Games of 2021 -TouchArcade
Blast Waves is a tactical arcade shooter where time only moves as you move, and every shot counts.
Play through the rogue-like Survival Mode as a fresh recruit. Rapidly gain new weapons and abilities while trying to make it through an intergalactic conflict.
Most troopers won't make it. The few that do survive become permanently playable as clone squad commanders. In the auto battler-like Command Mode, players build and organize squads while fighting to last as long as possible against overwhelming odds.
Key Features:
-Survival Mode: Build a character from the ground up across multiple battles.
-Command Mode: Characters that make it through Survival Mode can be selected to lead squads against increasingly overwhelming odds.
-100s of weapons, armor types, and gadgets to unlock.
-6 unique biomes with destructible terrain and distinct environmental challenges.
-Dozens of allied and enemy troop types to learn and master.
-Skill-based joystick shooting and tap-to-target control schemes.
-Holotags record the unique exploits of every character.

Ratings and Reviews
Enjoyable
Really enjoying this, is quite different to a lot of arcade shooters that it gives you time to look around and check your decisions, yet still has the feel of the old style games with awesome music.
Two draw backs I’ve found are that when I’m on a far wave on command, there is no way to save or come back to it at a later time. Reloading the game shows how far I’ve got but I need to start again, which isn’t ideal for a mobile game as I’m often playing on the go or in quick bursts.
Another, is once you gather more weapons/items the bar at the bottom goes off the screen and there isn’t a way to use all the things you’ve collected.
Hope there can be a fix for these in the near future, except that, great game. 🙌
Great game!
I really enjoyed this game; the music, animation and overall style of the game are amazingly old school and the gameplay is fun and challenging. I like that the soldiers you play as can be one great heroes but can still be killed by one wrong move or just bad luck, like having a tree fall over onto you. If you are a fan of retro Sci Fi tactical strategy games that you can play in short bursts on your phone then you can’t get much better than this!
