Elsewhere Battles

Start with villagers, gather resources and construct buildings. Explore the map, assemble an army and take on rival civilizations and enemy towns in Elsewhere Battles, a turn-based fantasy strategy game for iPhone and iPad. Solo play works offline. Optional private-code multiplayer requires internet and supports up to six civilizations with friends and computer opponents.

Free to download on the U.S. App Store for iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. The free solo selection includes Humans, Gargoyles, Spirits and Cryptids plus four maps. Optional permanent purchases add civilizations, maps, Elsewhere specialists and remix music. Eligible free players may see banner and dismissible full-screen ads. Full game unlock removes both formats.

There are no subscriptions. The public multiplayer preview includes maps and civilizations; specialists and remixes follow purchases, and solo unlocks remain separate. Scouting and settlement growth share the same battlefield. Send scouts into the fog of war, secure nearby resources and decide where your settlement should expand.

Citizens need protection while they gather supplies and construct the buildings that support a growing civilization. Recruitment, research and resources still matter: including a civilization or specialist does not remove the normal requirements for using it in a match.

For first-time players, step-by-step training introduces scouting, gathering, recruiting citizens and construction. Solo matches save progress so a battle can be continued later. The starting solo selection offers a way to learn the game before choosing any optional permanent content.

Additional civilizations and maps are separate solo unlocks, while Full game unlock includes all optional solo content offered in this release. To play with friends, create a multiplayer room and share its four-letter code. Friends and computer opponents can be combined in a match with up to six civilizations.

The public App Store multiplayer preview provides its own access to maps and civilizations; that preview does not add purchases to an Apple Account or unlock paid solo content. Elsewhere specialists and remix music continue to follow permanent purchases. AI disclosure: AI was used for programming and automated testing, and to generate game artwork, music and sound effects.

AI also helped draft this listing. The Moonbound trailer shows gameplay at 1.5x speed, with construction shown across turns. Some civilizations and remix music shown require purchases.
