Tabletop-inspired fantasy battle board – looking for visual/readability feedback

Tabletop-inspired fantasy battle board – looking for visual/readability feedback

Hi everyone, I’m working on a fantasy strategy battle board inspired by tabletop wargames.

The game is here: https://playtactum.com

The idea is to keep the battlefield readable at a glance: clear hexes, visible unit positions, movement/attack indicators, timers, and simple terrain. I’m trying to balance a digital game interface with a tabletop miniature feel.

I’d really appreciate feedback on the board readability:

Does it feel clear which unit is on which hex?
Are the colors and outlines easy to understand?
Does the board feel too busy, or still readable?
Would this style feel appealing for a fantasy tactical battle game?

I’m also wondering whether this kind of game might be more interesting as a classic turn-based system, where one player takes their turn first and then the other player responds, instead of a more real-time battle flow.

Thanks for any feedback!

Hi everyone,

I’m a tabletop wargame fan and I’m building a browser-based tactical wargame called PlayTactum.

My goal is not to make another base-building browser game. I’m trying to capture more of the tabletop feeling: moving armies across a map, positioning generals, expanding territory, and resolving tactical battles.

The game is already playable, but still early, so I’m looking for feedback from wargamers rather than general players.

I’d especially like to know:

- Does it feel interesting from a wargaming perspective?

- Is the first 10 minutes understandable?

- Does the movement / battle flow make sense?

- What would you expect from a browser wargame like this?

You can try it here:

Feedback here in the comments would be very helpful.

Thanks!
