Iron Tide Command

Iron Tide Command is a slower-burn strategy title about managing a fleet across contested waters. You plan routes, position ships, and commit to attacks a turn ahead — so bad decisions haunt you a few moves later.

I love that brute force rarely wins here. Scouting and supply lines matter, and the AI punishes greedy expansion. Campaign missions each have a little puzzle to them, which keeps things from feeling repetitive.

The interface is a touch cramped on smaller phones, and menus could be cleaner. But if you enjoy thinking three steps ahead, this one hooks you.
