No matter whether it’s real-time or turn-based, strategy games require some quick thinking and tough decisions to win. When every turn is a matter of life and death, you need to be on the ball at all times, planning ahead and anticipating your opponent’s every move.
When it comes to strategy games on mobile, you need a device that’s as fast as you are, and able to keep up with your massive tactical brain – like the ROG Phone 6. Here are just three Android strategy games that will play even better on a ROG Phone 6.
Bad North
Living on a tiny island surrounded by nothing but vast frigid oceans is hard enough. Now imagine hordes of Vikings descending on your home to burn your houses and kill everyone in sight. Could your day get any worse?
Bad North is all about holding off these invaders with just a small handful of units, who you’ll be moving around the island in real-time to put them in the right position to stop the Vikings from making much progress. Vikings come in unpredictable waves, and you’ll need to carefully manage your time and units to ensure that they can take out all the attackers without getting wiped out themselves.
With the ROG Phone 6, you don’t need to worry about your device keeping up with your rapid unit placement and strategy shifting. Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, along with an Adreno 730 GPU, it offers 10% better CPU and GPU performance compared to the previous generation of ROG Phone – already a monster for performance. No matter how many times you need to move your units, you won’t experience any hanging or freezing.
Rebel Inc.
Stabilising an entire country and protecting it from insurgents is serious business, even in a game like Rebel Inc. Created by the studio behind Plague Inc., this game has you trying to maintain order in a country and balance the needs of the civilians and the military, all while protecting everyone as you go.
Protecting people doesn’t just mean investing in military might, either. Rebel Inc. asks you to invest in their education, develop infrastructure, and prevent the titular rebels from ruining everything for you. There’s a Campaign mode to get you started, but the joy of the Inc. games is the ability to create your own scenarios and deal with unexpected events.
With so much going on, you need a lot of memory in your device to keep the simulation ticking along. The ROG Phone 6 has up to 18GB of RAM, so no matter how much you build up your country, it’ll continue to run smoothly on your screen. That’s the benefit of using one of the fastest phones on the market, after all.
Darkest Dungeon
Darkest Dungeon requires not only a strong memory to get through its haunting ruins and ghastly warrens, as you try to balance your party’s skills and remember the best combos and health management strategies. It also needs a strong mind to survive its murky depths, as depression and despair lurk around every corner, and your party are as prone to mental attacks as they are physical.
Survival in Darkest Dungeon isn’t just about making quick decisions as you traverse the enemy-filled roads, but about carefully considering how far you can push your party, and when it’s time to call it quits and recruit some new members. It’s challenging, for sure, but it’s a psychological challenge as well as a strategic one.
On top of that, Darkest Dungeon was originally built with PC and consoles in mind, so running it on mobile requires a powerful machine. Though, as you’ve probably realised by now, the ROG Phone 6 has the processing power and RAM capabilities to handle the toughest of games without breaking a sweat.
These are just some of the great strategy games that the ROG Phone 6 can improve with its unparalleled Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, Adreno 730 GPU, and 18GB of RAM.
