Angel Army

About

Angel Army is a turn-based strategy game from 1993 that tasks you with defending cities and commanding troops across three modes. Battle the computer, progress through a campaign starting in Japan, or face a friend in local two-player matches. You manage jets, tanks, and helicopters, issuing attack commands as unit confrontations play out on split screens. Victory requires holding your ground while dismantling enemy forces, backing down is an option if defeat seems inevitable. This early Illusion title stands out for its unusual mix of traditional strategy and hints of the developer’s later direction. The cast of female generals, each tied to different nations, drew attention for its time. With a single “Dark” community vote, its tone feels sharper than most early ’90s strategy games. The PC-9800 visuals and rigid difficulty curve make it a curious artifact for retro strategy fans.
