About

Art of War 3 brings the depth and intensity of classic PC real-time strategy games to mobile devices. Unlike simplified auto-battlers, this game offers direct control over every single unit, allowing for complex tactical maneuvers, base building, and resource management in the heat of battle. It is a true test of generalship where only the most strategic commanders survive.

Story

Set in the near future, the world is fractured by a global conflict between two distinct ideologies. You must choose a side: join the Confederation to uphold order and protect the world from chaos, or unite with the Resistance to fight against a global domination system. Through extensive campaigns, the narrative unfolds across a world torn apart by modern warfare.

Gameplay

AOW3 offers a traditional RTS loop: build a base, harvest resources, produce an army, and destroy the enemy. The standout feature is the Control System, which allows you to select and command individual tanks, infantry, or aircraft just like a mouse-and-keyboard strategy game. Success depends on unit composition, terrain usage, and split-second tactical decisions during intense PvP skirmishes.

  • 2Real-Time PvP: 1v1, 2v2, and tournament battles
  • 3Two Unique Factions: Distinct units, strengths, and tech trees

đź’ˇ Did You Know?

The game features two completely asymmetrical factions: The Confederation uses heavy armor like Zeus tanks, while the Resistance relies on stealth and speed.

AOW3 is one of the few mobile games to successfully implement a 'select box' control scheme for multiple units.

The 'World War' mode allows clans to fight for control of actual global regions, changing the political map of the game server.

Top-tier players can win without spending money by utilizing hard counters (e.g., Wasps vs. Deltas) effectively.
