War Legends keeps real-time strategy alive on phones

War Legends remains one of the week’s strongest mobile picks because it dares to believe real-time strategy can work on a touchscreen. The game gives players campaign missions, unit control, base-building and online PvP for up to six players. That is a proper RTS feature list, not just a castle timer with swords painted on the menu. The challenge is obvious: fingers are not mice, and tiny soldiers can become chaos soup if the interface fails.

But if War Legends keeps battles readable, mobile players finally get a strategy game that asks them to command instead of simply wait.
