Stick War: Legacy is a strategy game in which you act as commander of a kingdom of stick figures. You train different types of soldiers and direct them to gather resources, invade territories, and defend your nation. The description characterizes the gameplay as simple and states that it requires only touch controls.
Building and directing your army
A match begins with 150 gold coins, which you use to train a miner. Miners are responsible for gathering resources for your kingdom. The first batch of gold is used to train soldiers and send them into battle. Those soldiers are armed only with a wooden stick and charge into enemy territory to destroy enemy monuments.
Resource gathering and troop training have to be balanced. The description notes that enemy counterattacks can be fierce and that reinforcements are important for sustaining a battle. Your army is limited to 40 people, so the description advises balancing the number of soldiers against the number of miners. The game ends when the enemy monument is completely destroyed.
Controls
Controls rely on touch input. According to the description, tapping any stick figure lets you control all of that figure's actions, and this is presented as especially useful in survival battles.
Game modes
Classic Campaign uses a standard storyline, and its goal is to conquer other nations and win the game. Mission Mode adds new missions every Friday, and each mission requires a new strategy. Tournament Mode pits you against computer-generated opponents, with between 4 and 12 rivals, including Cyrus, Ruth, Blake, and others. Winning the tournament earns the title "Crown of Inamorta."
Endless Death/Survival Mode has your army fight enemies continuously. In this mode, the army survives until it dies of thirst from zombies, as the description puts it.
Strengths and limitations listed in the description
The description lists engaging real-time strategy mechanics, multiple modes that add replay variety, and simple touch controls as strengths. It also lists several limitations: without in-app purchases, progress can feel slow; large-scale campaigns can make unit selection difficult; and the minimalist visual style may not suit every player.
The description also says skins are available for players who find the stick figures unappealing. It states that each skin has different characteristics that can provide an advantage in battle.
Installing the APK on Android
The source describes a manual installation process. First, enable the Unknown Sources option by going to Settings, opening Security Settings, and turning on Unknown Sources if it is not already enabled. Next, download the Stick War: Legacy APK, open a file manager app, and locate the downloaded file. Tap the file, choose Install, and wait for the installation to finish. Then open the game to start playing. Because this method installs an APK file outside the standard installation flow, you should confirm that the file comes from a source you trust before installing it.
