Hexa Battle

Hexa Battle is a turn-based tactics game on a hex grid, written in TypeScript with React 15. You command a squad against an AI opponent, moving units and using their abilities to hold territory. Both sides act in turn, so every position you create has an answer — the whole game is about creating positions where the answer is bad for you.

The whole client — engine, AI, level content and interface — ships as a single bundle. Hex movement uses the six neighbouring directions rather than four, which changes blocking and chokepoints completely.

How to Play

1. Pick a level from the campaign list.
2. Click one of your units to select it. Its possible destinations highlight.
3. Click a highlighted hex to move, or pick an action from the unit's ability list.
4. End your turn and let the AI respond.
5. Clear the enemy units to advance.

Controls

• Click a unit — select it
• Click a highlighted hex — move there
• Click an ability — use the selected unit's ability
• End turn — pass to the AI
• Mouse and touch are both supported

Tips

• On a hex grid, a unit with six neighbours is harder to contain than one with four. An enemy that thinks it is boxed in usually is not.
• Elevation and faction ownership both matter — contesting a hex the enemy already holds is often stronger than taking an empty one.
• The AI looks several moves ahead. Chasing it with a single unit is a losing trade; trade into favourable ground instead.

This integration self-hosts that build so it runs entirely in your browser. It was compiled from the upstream monorepo with the upstream toolchain (webpack 2 plus ts-loader). The only change was making the webpack publicPath relative so the hashed assets resolve from the game's embedded path, and dropping the production source map. The game bundle itself is the unmodified production output.
