Pocket Legion

Pocket Legion is chaos in a good way. Enemies pour down three lanes and you fling little soldiers at them with quick flicks. It's messy, fast, and weirdly compelling once the waves stack up.

There's a light upgrade system between runs, but the core is pure reflex and reading the board. I lost plenty of matches simply by panicking and dumping troops in one lane.

It's not deep, and it doesn't try to be. As a five-minute adrenaline hit it's exactly right.
