Caravan War: Heroes and Tower Defense

If you’re looking for an accessible, deep, well-balanced mix of strategy and resource management you could do a lot worse than Caravan War.

Caravan War is decent-looking. The simple, generic visual style and 2D isometric graphics won’t draw a crowd, and the text can be difficult to read on even a fairly large mobile phone screen, but it’s all perfectly serviceable. In terms of gameplay, it does much better, with a rich, well-balanced take on strategy that blends tower defence with resource-management to engrossing effect. If you’ve done all you can in genre rivals like Clash Royale, Caravan War is a solid choice.

Caravan War isn’t entirely original, and it could reasonably be described as plain in the looks department, but it’s a neat mashup of two genres that work well on mobile and it gives you plenty to do. If you’re looking for a different take on the category that boasts megahits like Clash Royale, it’s worth giving Caravan War a look.
