Gameplay

''Global Warfare'' is set in a near-future world of warring city-states. As a General, players are in charge of their own city-state and army. Players can establish alliances to assist in rebuilding their cities and battling for global domination. Each city has been destroyed by war, the player has six days to rebuild the city's defences, research upgrades and enable the production of advanced armies. A seven-day grace period is given when players start a new game. This period is used to prepare for war and establish alliances. One the grace period is over the player's city becomes a potential target for attack but the player can launch attacks of their own.

The game places emphasis on building alliances with other players, those who fail to form alliances are vulnerable to massed attack from multiple rival players. Alliances can attempt to capture resources as a group, or send reinforcements should one of their number come under attack from a rival.

Reception

Nicole Tanner of IGN notes that Kabam's experience with their previous titles allowed them to "perfect the formula". However, she points out lack of story and similarity with developer's previous titles. Jeremiah Leif Johnson of Gamezebo also points out that while the game is good, it is very similar to the previous titles. Both Tanner and Johnson criticize the strategy aspect for the lack of low-level unit control.
