Play Super Army War Online

Super Army War came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2006, published by Global A Entertainment. It was a time when the GBA library was full of inventive, smaller scale games, and this one fit right in with its straightforward approach to action. You don't see many people talking about it now, but it had a specific kind of charm for players looking for a quick, tactical challenge on the go.

You control a single soldier navigating through grid based, screen by screen battlefields. Your main goal is to eliminate all enemy units on each map before they can do the same to you. The game uses a turn based system where you move your soldier and then take an action, like firing your rifle or throwing a grenade; positioning is everything, as you use terrain for cover and try to outflank your opponents. The pacing is deliberate, almost puzzle like, because a single mistake can lead to a quick defeat. It feels like a careful, tense game of chess played with bullets.
