Our Expert Score

91/100

Templar Battleforce is a deep, crunchy tactical RPG that respects the player's intelligence. As a fan of Warhammer 40k and XCOM, I found the squad customization here to be top-tier. You aren't just moving units; you're building a synergistic force of giant mechs (Leviathans) that need to hold corridors against endless swarms.

The branching skill trees and specialized classes allow for wildly different playstyles. One player might focus on heavy flamers and area denial, while another goes for stealth and precision strikes. The graphics are a bit old-school, but the mechanical depth and the sheer scale of the campaign more than make up for it. It's a rare mobile title that demands—and rewards—genuine strategic thinking.

Amazing game, with one question

Wed Dec 05 2018 DazShayd

First off if you’re looking for something to replace 40k Tyranid invasion since its no longer being updated past iPhone 6 this is the best, better in a lot of regards; the story is more in depth and there’s storyline trees so your decisions really do matter. The upgrade tree and items are wrapped into one really big intricate requisition system which is very fun to mess around with. It’s also just right for difficulty, but not like XCOM where your soldiers can’t hit the side of a barn more in variety and type of enemies as well as fog-of-war and environmental components that come together for dynamic challenges. My question is: devs, in the next update could you make it so every action does not pause any background audio we may be listening to? I enjoy listening to podcasts while playing these games but every action in game pauses the audio and it’s unfortunate since it’s the only thing that’s bothersome about this game, and it’s not even really about the game. Thanks and happy upcoming holidays

Great story, Squad-based RPG and keeps getting better

Very in-depth tech tree and ability to create different types of characters. Great story writing and a LONG game, definitely getting your money’s worth. One of the unique features of the game is the ability to re-spec your team in between battles, allowing you to try vastly different strategies based on your upcoming challenges. Trese Brother games are frequently updated and improved, easy to communicate with on their forums. Active user group to learn/compare strategies for gameplay really make a difference. Wow, the recent performance improvements, UI improvements make this already great game one that you simply must buy. Smooth, fast. Once you get the hang of the team building concept and tech tree, you can attack the game over and over with new teams and experiences. Update: The developers just don't leave this great game alone. 40 updates since originally reviewing. New features, weapons, team choices. Get this game!

Great game - a bargain at twice the price!

This is one of the best tactical TB squad combat games I've ever played (and I've been playing computer games since the late '80s - anyone remember the Amiga?) - balanced, deep, great tech trees that go on forever, nice story, developers support, good comment and guide community, what more can you ask? Actually, I do have one thing to ask - on the iPad (or at least on my old one), when you go to check the objective, the turn counter is covered up by the decorative armor (eye candy) in the bottom left corner of the screen, so that you can't actually see how many turns have passed - just see "rns of target 12" ( or whatever the goal number is) or words to that effect - am hoping revs can fix and update, it's an annoying glitch. But if that is the biggest complaint I have, it's a terrific game - hours upon hours of entertainment!

These guys...are absolutely NUTS

I’ve owned this game since a few months after original launch...and the list of ongoing updates alone is SO impressive. In fact, about 2-3 hours ago I was checking the update list as I often do just to see....the last one was about 4 weeks ago and it was huge....ahem...tttThen...I went to the app store about 2 hrs later and...jesus H. christOnaCracker there’s already another patch/update 😳 It’s unparalleled in support as far as mobile games go. I respect the schniz out of this. Although...I sure would love to see the next game they come up with after all these years, I won’t ever complain about YEARS of updates and support for this great gem of a game lol. Ummmm...buy it now.

A great tactical turn-based combat game

A great game for anyone who likes tactical turn-based combat; particularly anyone that likes space-type marines fighting tyrannical aliens and traitorous cults trying to cause chaos. It’s got a deep skill tree and tons of missions and I’ve long ago gotten my money’s worth. The game system is similar to Space Hulk, but better suited to a more diverse cast of characters. In particular, your characters are more mobile and the games move pretty quickly. Also notable is that the writing is better than most AAA big sci-fi titles.

Constant updates!

Have been playing this game on PC and liked it! Now would like to play it more on the go. iPhone X support is not here yet but would be nice to have.

History of game abandonment

Thu Nov 13 2025 Thalinor

This developer likes to abandon their games on other platforms, leaving people who paid for them without the product they bought functioning. I don’t expect it to work for a lifetime, but they truly love abandoning games.

Old-school crunchy turn-based tactics. If shooting bugs with walking tanks piloted by religious zealots sounds like fun, have I got an alternative to 40k for you!
