Capture cities. Build your army. Outsmart the AI or a friend.

Pixel’s War is a free, turn-based strategy game with colorful pixel art and tactical battles you can play straight in your browser.

Advance your infantry to capture buildings, secure income for reinforcements, and combine tanks, artillery and aircraft to break through enemy lines. Terrain matters, positioning matters, and the order of your attacks can turn a close fight into a victory.
