Apoc Wars is set in an apocalyptic world, where you and your army are forced to survive against other antagonists and must do battle for scarce resources. Players can expand their territory and build their camp and armaments from scratch given what they have, and they must keep their defense up against those who would like to see their scant belongings taken away. Can you live in this war torn world? Play Apoc Wars and find out, and use this walkthrough as your guide in this very dangerous and hostile world.
Gameplay
Apoc Wars is a city building game with combat simulation thrown in. Players must build up their camp and train different troops in order to do battle with other camps. They must also be able to manage their resources so that they can further expand and build different items for both offensive and defensive purposes. Combat will also require players to make moves and attack intelligently, as getting into the wrong position would probably get your entire squad wiped out. There are also various missions to perform, which will further unlock content and give you more rewards.
Blood Money
Blood Money is the main currency within the game, and can be won by completing missions. Blood money can be used to refill your resource meters, and can also be used to speed up tasks. Blood money is much easier to come by as compared to other freemium games, but those who would require more can also buy them using real currency.
Building
There are several structures that can be build in your territory, and each serve different functions. There are buildings that can generate resources such as scrap and oil for you, while others will allow you to store quantities of this item for future use. Some buildings will also allow you to train troops and create vehicles that you can use for spying and attacking. Turrets can also be constructed so that they will be able to defend your area once others attack you. There are even barricades made up of barbed wire and concrete that will further add to your defenses and, if used properly, can also be used to funnel enemies so that you can dispatch them more easily.
Some items that can be built can also be upgraded, which will allow them to function better, such as have faster output, or create better and stronger troops. Players must however bear in mind that buildings cannot function while they are being upgraded, and completion of upgrades will also take time, so prudence must be undertaken on when to actually perform an upgrade so that you will not be left too undefended or be short on troops.
Resources
Resources within the game include scraps, oil, and energy. Out of the three, scraps and oil can be acquired much more easily, as these can be retrieved from scrapyards and refineries. Building more of these, concurrently, will allow you to generate more resources, while storage facilities may also be constructed. Energy, on the other hand, will depend on your command center. This resource is very essential as most structures depend on energy to be able to function, and command centers can also be upgraded so that their energy production can be increased. However, upgrading your command center will also mean that most of your buildings will not be able to get energy as well, so players must weigh the pros and cons of their actions before making upgrades.
Missions
Apoc Wars also allows players to perform missions in exchange for rewards, mainly in the form of Blood Money. Missions include tasks such as constructing buildings, training troops, defeating enemies in combat, and many more. Missions are arranged in such a way that you would be able to make the most out of your game given the content available at the time. Either way, most of the content would not yet be available anyway should you decide to go off on your own. The Missions segment of the game pretty much serves as a tutorial as well as a guide on what you can and have to do next.
Gear
Sometimes, especially when players are victorious in attacking opponents, they will be rewarded with different types of gear. This gear will provide boosts to your camp or your troops, for as long as you equip them. The number of equipment slots that you have will depend on your current level, and unused gear can also be sold off for extra resources.
Attacking
Players can attack other camps in exchange for experience points as well as other rewards. When attacking, it is important to properly scout the area, have the proper arrangement of troops, as well as move strategically in order to avoid getting wiped out. All of these factors must work together in order to assure your army’s victory.
When spying, players can choose as to which unit they would like to send out. When players spy at the enemy’s camp, the fog will slowly dissipate, allowing players to be able to scout the surrounding areas so that they will be able to find the enemy’s command center, which is what the players must destroy in order to win. Spy units can be created using different buildings which are constructed in your base, although you can also spend Blood Money. Spy units can be destroyed by conventional fire.
Players can then send different troops, which would depend on your command center’s maximum capacity. When command centers are upgraded, you would be able to bring more numerous and more powerful troops into battle. Being able to bring the correct troops, which will also include vehicles and tanks, is essential so that you can endure the turrets placed by the enemies in your path. In addition, different troops have different resistances, so you must use the information that you got from spying in order to create the platoon that you will send into battle.
Lastly, knowing where to go and what to attack first is essential. As much as possible, do not walk into the path of two or more turrets. Concentrate your firepower in one structure before moving on to the next. Also, try to walk around barricades and walls as this will block most of your offense, allowing turrets do deal more damage to your troops before you them.
Players will win the battle once the enemy’s command center has been destroyed, and the player will lose once his troops have been wiped out. It is important to participate in battles, not only as part of missions, but also because this is the only way to earn experience points that is required to unlock additional content, and this is also a great way to earn scraps and other essential items.
Social Function
Players can also join alliances that will make them stronger both individually as well as a group. Players can have a specialty within their alliance, and this will carry over to other players within the coalition. There is also a chat function as well as the ability for players to battle each other in exchange for great rewards. This further adds to the fun and enjoyment to the game as players must adapt their styles and strategy depending on how their opponents arrange their defenses in their respective camps.
