What you do in Battle for the Galaxy
This is a real-time strategy game from AMT Games, out since September 2016. You gather resources, put up production and defense buildings, train units, and then send those units to attack other bases and take what they hold. You level up by winning battles and by upgrading your buildings and technology.
Playing with the mouse
The whole game runs on click and tap. You manage the base by clicking buildings, and you fight by dropping troops onto an enemy base.
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Place or select a building | Left click or tap |
| Open a building menu | Click the building |
| Deploy troops in a raid | Click the spot to attack |
Buildings that matter
There are over 20 buildings to construct and upgrade. A few shape your whole run more than the rest.
| Building | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Tech Lab | Boosts troop attack power through research |
| Corporate HQ | Lets you join a corporation for troops and boosts |
| Storage | Keeps your Titanium safe from a single raid |
| Tesla tower | Defends the base against attackers |
Raids and Titanium
Battles drive your progress. A win raises your level and lets you loot the defender's Titanium, the currency you spend on buying and upgrading. Defense counts as much as attack, since other players can raid you back, so spread your storage around and keep walls and towers upgraded.
Tips for getting started
A few habits make the early game smoother.
- Build the Tech Lab early so your troops hit harder.
- Join a corporation for free troops and faster progress.
- Upgrade defenses, not only attack power.
- Clear the single-player missions for steady rewards.
