Stick War is a stickman strategy game from Max Games Studios, first released on January 30, 2016. You build units, mine gold, and train Sword, Spear, Archer, Mage and Giant fighters, with the goal of toppling the enemy statue and capturing every territory. The current version is 2026.1.1298, it is free, and it needs Android 7.0 or later.
Leading the Order nation in Inamorta
The game is built around a single premise: you lead the nation called Order in a world named Inamorta. Four rival nations surround you, known as Archidons, Swordwrath, Magikill and Speartons, and each one is devoted to its own weapon technology. Your peaceful people do not worship weapons, so the story pushes you to strike first and take technology from each rival.
Google Play shows a rating of 4.8 from about 3.2 million ratings. The content rating is Teen, and the listing tags it as strategy.
A session from gold mining to the enemy statue
A match starts with building units and mining gold. You can command the army in formations or take control of a single stickman and play it directly. Unit types include Sword, Spear, Archer, Mage and Giant, and the goal is to destroy the enemy statue and capture all territories.
Beyond the Classic Campaign, which carries 6 bonus levels, there is a Missions Mode with new levels released every Friday. A saga-style map hands out rewards, and Crowns unlock for each difficulty level: Normal, Hard and Insane. Game types vary and include Win before sunset, Triple barricaded gold, Deathmatch, Forward Statue and fights against Mini Bosses.
Other modes include Endless Deads, a zombie survival mode, and a Tournament mode against dozens of AI challengers for the Crown of Inamorta. Skins are available for all characters and come with weapons and armor that carry their own perks. Recent combat changes make arrows stick into all units, add new blood effects and damage animations, and improve unit formations and Archidon bow aim.
Stick War next to Stickman Hook and Epic Stickman
Similar names to look at are Supreme Duelist, Stick Hero, Epic Stickman, Stickman Warriors, Stickman Hook and Anger of stick 5. Stick War is a strategy game built around commanding an army, with a classic campaign, a saga map and extra game types.
If you prefer mining gold, building units and controlling them yourself over steering a single character, Stick War fits that. For the others, read their store pages.
