History
Like its predecessor "Tropical Stormfront" (released on Dec. 20, 2011), Desert Stormfront is inspired by the turn-based "Classic Empire" game by Walter Bright. Units and structures were modeled after the original following a rock-paper-scissors system for attack and defense. Unit movement was chosen to be real-time similar to the classic "Command & Conquer" but following a more simplified approach for casual players/enabling the game to run also on mobile devices with touch screens.
