Lucky Offense is a casual strategy game where fortune plays a major role, out now on iOS and Android
Feeling lucky?
- Lucky Offense is a newly released turn-based strategy where luck is a major component
- Spin on gacha to receive new commanders in each battle, and combine them to create stronger ones
- But don't just rely on luck because strategy is also a major factor
In his seminal work The Art of War, Sun Tzu said, "What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins but excels in winning with ease." Now this has absolutely no relevance to today's subject, but it does sound awfully clever. And in Lucky Offense you'll be able to feel just as clever when luck is on your side.
Out now on iOS and Android, you may remember us covering the casual strategy release Lucky Offense a few months ago. A mixture of merge, turn-based strategy and gacha, it encourages frequent use of said system to gain stronger and stronger guardians that can then be merged to further beef up your army.
With its cartoonish visuals and relatively straightforward mechanics it's obvious that Lucky Offense is shooting for a casual audience. But at the same time that's hardly a bad thing and by all accounts it looks competently done.
Fortunately, luck isn't the only factor in success in Lucky Offense as you'll also need to craft a decent strategy. And with a variety of bosses to face down things can quickly go pear-shaped if you hop in unprepared. So while it may not test your strategic mindset like say, Total War, it seems like Lucky Offense will offer plenty of intriguing fun for fans of this sort of thing.
