Finished Advance Wars, but still eager to plan your next turn? Musunoa: The Faceless offers a new battlefield on Android, with ninja clans, villages to capture and an army to build.
What you miss might not be another tank. It might be the moment you spot an opening: capture a building now, protect a unit for one more turn, or save enough resources for the right reinforcement. If that kind of thinking kept you playing mission after mission, Musunoa deserves a place on your list. You will find familiar decisions in a different world, with new rules to discover.
Yes. The first two campaign missions and the online mode are currently free to play on Android. The rest of the campaign is in development.
Enjoy gaining ground to fund your army? In Musunoa, Ninja and Shinobi units capture buildings. Holding villages provides the income you need for reinforcements. Each capture becomes an investment worth protecting: advancing quickly is only useful if you can hold what you take.
Your experience with positioning and supporting units will give you a starting point. In Musunoa, capture units, durable troops and ranged support serve different roles. Before recruiting, look for what your front line is missing, then check the terrain and nearby threats before each move.
If you enjoy waiting for the right moment to use a commanding officer's power, meet Musunoa's commanders. Their gifts, weaknesses and powers shape your strategy. Having an ability ready is only part of the challenge: your army needs to be in position to make the most of it.

Musunoa has its own setting. Seirin's festival descends into chaos; Ren takes command while Aya leads the villagers to shelter. Behind the battles lies a story of clans and broken bonds. You will meet new characters, rather than joining another Orange Star adventure.
Musunoa's squads move across a grid and clash in 3D combat scenes. The game is available on Android. If you are looking for an Advance Wars alternative on mobile, it offers a chance to make tactical decisions on your phone in a different setting.
Unit names, matchups and powers are specific to Musunoa. Learn their roles instead of looking for an exact equivalent to every Advance Wars unit. Fog of war, lines of fire and cover also call for a careful look at the battlefield before you commit your troops.
To move from Advance Wars to Musunoa, start with decisions you know, then learn what this new army changes.
Locate accessible villages and recruitment sites. Plan an escort for your capture units and keep a way to defend your income.
Review ranges and movement options. An Archer needs protection behind the front line; a Scout helps survey the terrain. Good positioning starts with understanding your units.
Discover their gift, weakness and power. Plan your positioning around those traits instead of relying on troop strength alone.
