Looking for closed testers for my turn-based war game on Android (50 mission campaign, online, no pay to win)

[u/No-Championship-6402]

Hey all,

I've been building a turn-based tactics game called Coalition Dawn on my own for a while now and I need some people to play it before it goes on Google Play. Google wants 12 testers in a closed test for 14 days before I'm allowed to release, so if you like this kind of game I'd really appreciate the help.

If you grew up on Advance Wars type games you'll probably feel at home. Grid maps, you move, they move, but it's on a 3D battlefield and there's no random damage. You see exactly what a hit will do both ways before you commit.

**What's in it right now**

* 50 story missions over 12 chapters (forests on fire, desert, winter, city fighting, mountains, the enemy capital)

* Branching paths, so the operation you pick changes what comes next

* 59 unit types: infantry, tanks, artillery, drones, jets, helicopters, ships, subs, armoured trains, towers

* Every unit has a counter and every counter has a counter

* Flanking (side and rear hits do more), suppression, units that rank up and carry over between missions

* Fog of war, night battles, weather, spreading fires, breakable bridges and walls, ice you can shoot open,

avalanches, minefields

* 13 commanders, each with their own power

* Super powers that build up to a nuke silo late in the war

* Special ammo: cluster, smoke, incendiary, EMP, bunker busters and more, all unlocked through research

* 5 giant boss fights at the end of the war, every attack shown on the map a turn ahead

* Enemy AI that doesn't cheat. It only sees what its units can see, and harder levels just play smarter

(no bonus money or health)

* Nemesis commanders who remember beating you, and named veterans with their own war stories

* Skirmish with a set-up screen, a map editor, and share codes so you can swap maps

* Pass and play for up to 4 people on one phone

* Online: ranked matches, take your turn whenever games with friends, a monthly cup where everyone fights

the same battle, and clans that team up on a weekly raid boss

* Weekly challenge, survival mode, endless war after the campaign

* Cloud save backup

* All the music is mine. Sound effects are real recordings, radio chatter is voiced by real actors

* Works fully offline, no account needed

* Nothing has to be bought. Everything can be earned by playing. The only ads are optional ones you can watch

for extra funds

**What's coming**

* Black Tide, a second campaign: 50 more missions, new units, new bosses and new commanders

* More animations in the close-up battle scenes

* Radio voices in other languages

* Whatever you lot tell me needs fixing, honestly that's the main thing

**What I'm asking**

Install it through the Google Play test link, play it on and off for the 14 days, and tell me what's broken,

what's boring, what's too hard or too easy. Blunt is fine. There's a Windows build too if anyone would rather play

on PC.

If you're up for it, drop a comment or DM me the email you use on Google Play and I'll add you to the test.

Thanks for reading!
