[Flash Game][~2014‑2018] 2D front‑view strategy/defense game with squad selection + island campaign map — can anyone identify?
Hey all,
I’m trying to track down a browser/Flash game I played around 2016‑2018 (might be earlier) — I remember enough to believe it wasn’t a major title, so I’m hoping someone here knows it.
Here’s everything I recall:
• Platform: Flash/browser (likely on ArmorGames)
• View: 2D front‑view (side view), no scrolling lanes; battles happen freely in a small screen.
• Gameplay loop: You pick a handful of units before each level (unit icons shown as squares at the bottom of the screen). You then fight an enemy army (icons visible) and units fight automatically; you don’t control them mid battle.
• Setting: The campaign map looked like islands or a cluster of islands (not a Europelike continent).
• Level structure: ~20 levels, each level has 3 different “modes” (difficulty tiers or reward tiers).
• Units: Fantasy/monster units (maybe some guns mixed in). Pixel‑like graphics, maybe stylised rather than hyper‑realistic.
• UI: Before each level you choose your squad; during battle you see your unit icons bottom, enemy unit icons also.
• Additional details: No hero‑level character I could remember; upgrades/unlock of better troops after winning levels.
• Language: Likely English
If you recognise anything from this description — perhaps a title, a screenshot, even part of a title, or a site hosting it — please drop it here. I’ve been searching for years and this one’s driving me nuts.
Thanks in advance for any help!
