What is Stickman Army: The Resistance?
Stickman Army: The Resistance is an action defense title developed by Playtouch where players defend a central fortification against oncoming waves of hostile stickmen. Two allied fighters stand positioned back-to-back atop a defensive tower, each guarding one flank against enemy rushes. The core loop revolves around alternating combat between both sides, repelling simultaneous advances, and managing resources to keep the outpost standing. The title operates directly in your modern web browser with nothing to download or install.

How to play
- Observe incoming enemy formations moving toward the outpost from both the left and right flanks.
- Direct each defender to engage targets approaching their designated side of the fortification.
- Switch focus between both soldiers regularly to prevent either flank from collapsing under pressure.
- Activate rage mode when hostile units gather closely around the perimeter to strike targets faster.
- Survive the entire enemy assault wave to finish the stage and earn defense credits.
- Spend your gathered rewards on tower enhancements and new weapons before launching the next round.
Tower upgrades and weapon progression
Success depends heavily on how you invest earnings between defensive waves. Surviving an assault yields credits that can be spent on reinforcing tower durability and purchasing more formidable gear for each soldier. As stages advance, hostile formations increase in size and introduce tougher enemy variations that absorb greater damage. Upgrading your outpost defenses gives the defenders more breathing room, while acquiring advanced weaponry ensures that opposing stickmen are eliminated before they reach melee range.
Tips and strategy
- Divide attention evenly across flanks: Tunneling on one direction leaves the opposite defender exposed to sudden flanking rushes.
- Reserve rage mode for dense groups: Activating enhanced attack speed against small groups wastes the cooldown when heavier clusters arrive.
- Invest combat credits immediately: Enemy numbers multiply in subsequent rounds, making defensive durability vital early on.
- Target the closest threats first: Stickmen closest to the barricade pose immediate danger, so eliminate proximal units before engaging distant reinforcements.
