About This Game

Agony of Choice is a slow-paced real-time strategy game that grants you a full overview and deliberately allows time for strategic planning and tactical decisions.

Unique Movement System:

Your troops move exclusively on a designated road network.

Evading confrontations or bringing in reinforcements often requires detours - but this is precisely what gives you the chance to lure the enemy into ambushes or outmanoeuvre them.

Destructible bridges and different road types provide additional depth.

Tactical Depth Instead of Hectic Action:

Conquer territories to generate resource, research, and effect points.

Invest them in new troops, powerful upgrades, and game-changing effects. In balanced battles, nuances decide the outcome: high ground, fortifications, and emplacements make the difference between victory and defeat. Once a fight is underway, tiresome micromanagement is no longer necessary.

However, retreats do not happen automatically, and you must call for reinforcements yourself.

No hiding – full information:

You direct your individual troops, but you must also keep the bigger picture in mind.

Every engagement follows clear and transparent rules: you can see the health, position, and current advantages or disadvantages of all enemy units at all times. But beware—your opponent knows just as much about you!

There is never a single perfect choice. So don't hesitate for too long: the enemy is already executing their plans!
