Tidewall Command

Tidewall Command asks you to build and defend a string of harbor towns while the sea itself works against you. The tide rises and falls on a timer, flooding low roads and opening others, so your defenses have to flex with the water. It's a neat twist that keeps you from settling into one safe layout.

Resource management is tight but fair. You're always a little short on stone or sailors, which forces real decisions. I lost my first two campaigns badly, then something clicked and I started reading the raid patterns. That difficulty curve is exactly where it should be for a mobile strategy title.

Menus can get fiddly on a phone, especially when you're dragging units during a timed raid. But the core idea is strong and the campaign kept pulling me 'just one more wave' further than I planned.
