War Tortoise is a PC port of a mobile game called War Tortoise 2, the sequel to War Tortoise 1. The PC version is essentially a premium version of the mobile version that removes all micro-transactions and rebalances the game's economy to compensate for the removal of the micro-transactions.

I personally have been a fan of the original mobile game and the prequel, and I will say that the PC version is much better than the mobile version for the sole reason of the removal of the micro-transactions.

The game at its core is a pseudo idle game mixed with a stationary on rails shooter that is also a rogue-lite game where once you die you reincarnate into a new war tortoise and have all your upgrades reset back to level 1, but you get to keep any gear you have, all you mutations (which are permanent perks), and evolutions (permanent buffs).

The game also borrows aspects from Mount & Blade where you travel around the map going to different points of interests to capture them, these points of interests often act as fast travel points (provided you build roads for it) and some of them can provide you with resources (Lumber Mill: generate lumber overtime, Gold Mine: increases the money you generate while you aren't playing the game, Crystal Mines: generate crystals for you to buy gear, characters, heroes, and different tortoises.).

Overall I would say that this game is great for what it is, and it is a neat little PC port of a mobile game that is great if you want to ride around on a armoured tortoise with a bunch of guns mounted on to it while you shoot enemies and slowly build an entire army of little critters armed to the teeth with military grade weapons.

Also for anyone unaware, Foursaken Media is one of the last mobile game developers from the Golden Age of mobile gaming, that is still around making games at a somewhat consistent level. They made a bunch of banger mobile games like Heroes & Castles, Bug Heroes, Block Fortress, and Noblemen 1896 (prequel to their upcoming PC exclusive, Noblemen 1986). If the devs read this review, please give us a PC port of Heroes & Castles 2 and please make a new Heroes & Castles game for the PC.
