Battlefield Saga

In the not so far future, due to the popularity of playing mobile games on the toilet, the wars of this new bleak future are set and won over the brutal field of - "Match 3" games. "Battlefield Saga" is a multiplayer played in the same room with teams competing for complete domination over the world. A server is opened showing the battlefield, and players can connect using their mobile phones to participate in the battle. Each player is divided into either red/blue team (round robin balance) and his performance in the matching game creates powerful battle units on the field. Higher combos equal stronger units. Recommended to play with sound (on server) and some spectators who aren't playing.
