About Tribal Trouble Mobile
Tribal Trouble is back, remade for Android.
A longship of Vikings has run aground on a sunny tropical island, and the natives who live there have no plans to share it. Tribal Trouble Mobile is the Android remake of the classic 2000s real-time strategy game: a cheeky, cartoon 3D RTS of Vikings vs Natives, rebuilt for phones and tablets with real touchscreen controls.

A CLASSIC RTS, NOW ON YOUR PHONE
• The two tribes, the sunny islands and the silly humour of the original Tribal Trouble
• Busy little peons chopping trees and hauling rock while you plan your next attack
• Warriors armed with rock, iron... or a chicken
• Chieftains whose magic turns a battle in seconds: the Vikings' Terrifying Toot and Ravaging Roar, the Natives' Stinking Stew and Crackling Cloud
• Now in HD: crisper units, buildings and trees, smoother lighting and a sharp interface (switch HD off in Options on a slower phone)
BASE BUILDING STRATEGY
Send your peons to chop wood, quarry rock, dig for iron and catch chickens. Build quarters to grow your tribe, an armory to forge weapons and towers to guard your shores. Then gather your army, lead your chieftain into battle and storm the enemy camp before they storm yours.
VIKINGS VS NATIVES
Play the hairy, horn-helmeted Vikings or the fierce island natives in skirmish and online games. Each tribe has its own warriors, buildings and chieftain magic.
OFFLINE RTS: CAMPAIGN AND SKIRMISH
• A single player story campaign of 14 islands for the Vikings, then 7 for the Natives (it opens once the Viking campaign is done)
• Easy, Normal or Hard
• Skirmish against computer tribes on a new randomly generated island every game
• Choose the island size, terrain and game speed, or share a map code to fight on the same island again
• No internet needed
ONLINE RTS: MULTIPLAYER
• Online battles for up to 6 players, with chat rooms and a game lobby
• Quick Match: pick 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3, ranked or friendly, and get matched with players near your rating
• Free-for-all or team games, with teams you pick or balanced by rating
• Rated games and a league table to climb from your very first game, or friendly matches for fun
• Dropped out? Reopen the game within 90 seconds and jump straight back into your match
• Offer a rematch on the same island with one tap
MADE FOR TOUCH
A real-time strategy game built for the touchscreen. Drag to scroll the island, pinch to zoom, twist to turn and slide two fingers to tilt the camera. Tap to select and give orders, double-tap a warrior to grab his whole group, hold and drag to round up an army. Quick buttons find your army, your peons and anyone slacking off.
No ads. Single player needs no account; for multiplayer, sign in with Google.
