Introduction
Halla is an engaging, turn-based strategy game developed by Mimivirus, released around March 2018. It’s described as an “epic timekiller” with a touch of fantasy, where players aim to defeat hundreds of enemies by strategically deploying cards to topple the opposing team’s totem pole.
The game features pixelated 2D graphics, a card-based battle system, and a mix of automated combat and strategic decision-making. Players can unlock new cards, powers, and banners as they progress, making it both addictive and replayable.
The core objective is to destroy the enemy’s totem pole while defending your own through careful card placement and ability management. The game’s automated combat frees players to focus on strategy, making it accessible yet challenging as you build and refine your deck.
How to play
Game mechanics
- Turn-Based: Each turn, you can place one new card on the battlefield. Choose cards carefully to strengthen your team and counter the enemy’s defenses.
- Automated combat: Once units are deployed, they fight automatically, using their abilities based on the card’s design. This allows you to focus on strategic card placement rather than controlling individual units.
- Card-Based system: Cards represent units with specific abilities (e.g., offensive, defensive, or special powers). You build a deck to balance attack and defense, unlocking new cards as you progress.
Basic gameplay loop
- Start a match: Use a mouse to interact, as the game relies on clicking and dragging cards.
- Place cards: During your turn, drag a card from your hand to a designated zone on the battlefield. Consider the card’s abilities and how it counters your opponent’s setup.
- Monitor combat: Watch as your units automatically engage the enemy. Pay attention to the outcome to adjust your strategy for the next turn.
- Use abilities strategically: Some cards or abilities are activated manually. Save powerful abilities for critical moments to shift the battle in your favor.
- Level up and unlock: As you defeat enemies, you earn resources to level up units, unlock new cards, or gain banners, enhancing your strategic options.
Strategic tips
- Build a balanced deck: Mix offensive and defensive cards to handle various threats. A deck heavy in one type may leave you vulnerable.
- Watch opponent: Observe their card placements and adjust your strategy to counter their moves. Timing is crucial deploying a strong card at the right moment can turn the tide.
- Manage resources: Use spoils from battles to unlock new cards or upgrade existing ones, improving your deck’s effectiveness.
- Practice patience: Mastering Halla requires learning which cards work best in different scenarios. Experiment with combinations to find your ideal strategy.
