About Line of Battle
Line of Battle is a fast-paced war game, battle game, and tank war game. A tough and breathtaking battle on the zero-point borderline... Defend your land against waves of enemy attacks.
How to play Line of Battle
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move and jump |
| J / K / L | Punch, kick and block |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Line of Battle stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
