Free turn-based strategy game with comical elements available on Mac platform.
In this game, each player controls a team of several hedgehogs. During the course of the game, players take turns with one of their hedgehogs. Then, they use whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and kill their opponents' hedgehogs to win the game.
Hedgehogs may move around the terrain in a variety of ways, like walking and jumping, but they can also use particular tools like the "Rope" or "Parachute" to move to otherwise inaccessible areas. Each turn is time-limited to ensure that players do not hold up the game with excessive thinking or moving.
Hedgewars offers a vast range of tools and weapons for players during the game. You can use Grenade, Desert Eagle, Fire Punch, Baseball Bat, Cluster Bomb, Bazooka, UFO, Shotgun, Dynamite, Mine, Rope, Pneumatic pick, Parachute, and many more. In this game, most weapons cause an explosion when used.
The landscape in Hedgewars is an island floating on a body of water or a restricted cave with water at the bottom. If a hedgehog enters the water, whether by falling off the island or through a hole in the bottom of it, it dies. A hedgehog can also be thrown off either side of the arena or when its health is reduced to zero typically from contact with explosions. The damage that is dealt to the attacked hedgehog or hedgehogs after a player's or CPU turn is shown only when all movement on the battlefield has ceased.
Overall, Hedgewars is an extremely entertaining and interesting game that will keep you engaged for hours.
