2013 has been a pretty good year for strategy games on Android so far, with worthwhile releases in subgenres ranging from squad-based combat tactics to business management to interstellar empires. Unfortunately, the sheer number of games released on mobile devices means that it’s not always a simple matter to tell the difference between General Issue Tower Defense #47649-B and games that are truly worth your time. With that in mind, Hardcore Droid is happy to bring you this list of the top Android strategy games so far this year.
Rob Pitt writes: Image & Form are well known for their brilliant ‘Steamworld’ franchise, but did you know they also dabbled in a mobile device-only title?
Anthill was released on both android and iOS back in 2011, a game which was so perfectly suited to touchscreen devices, it never got ported to any other system as the control scheme and ease-of-use would be lost in translation.
Sure, a Vita port may have been possible but that handheld is pretty much dead in the water now. However, there is another device you may have heard of which has a touchscreen – the Nintendo Switch.
Games Asylum: "Anthill is a port of a lovely iOS game from 2011. It was made by Image & Form, the creators of the SteamWorld series, so you know right off the bat that it’s going to be excellent."
"There's an absurd amount of indie games so once again, I combed through the crowded market to show you some noteworthy titles." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

Word is Xcom in its entirety on iPad next year. We are praying for an Android port.
what i would love though for Android is Fallout: Tactic's for Android and iOS, that game is still freaking awesome after all these years
You can play Fallout 1 via Dosbox, but tactics was a windows game.
