Boom Beach is a colorful strategy and base building game. Between its colorful characters who resemble the Saturday morning cartoon equivalent of 80s action heroes, its irreverent plot that pits you against a diabolical army, and its bright and expressive setting, Boom Beach provides a starkly distinct alternative to the grim and gritty environments that define the real time strategy market.

In Boom Beach, you're put in charge of your own little archipelago and burdened with the task of making sure it prospers. Gameplay starts off simple, softly easing you into an understanding of how the economy of resources work and demonstrating the basic building types which provide you with troop and resource production, bu the further you get, the deeper the systems reveal themselves to be. Management is the core of the experience here, and players who want their archipelago to dominate the world will need to understand how to make the best use of the resources and time available to them.

Players don't just compete with the computer, they compete with each other as well. Boom Beach takes place in a massively multiplayer world where player vs. player combat reigns supreme. It also allows players to team up to help one another out.
