Tactics 100 is a fun, fast-paced tactics game with some pretty sweet pixel art. You start the game with an army of knights, rangers, mages, and clerics, which all work about as you’d expect. The default army is pretty strong, but you can create your own, as well.

Like most games of this ilk, it’s all about micro-managing your moves and out-maneuvering your opponent. Moving and attacking your enemies from different sides all affect how much damage you do to them. Troops can also gain “veteran” status during battle by eliminating enemies, making them more effective combatants.

One thing that kinda sucks is the lack of options in terms of the battlefield. Would have been cool to see at least some levels where the “high ground” was in different places.

The single player campaign consists of 10 levels of varying difficulty. Multiplayer is also available (but I haven’t tried it).
