PvNP: "Liberating City & Villages"
In the PvNP: "Liberating City & Villages" mode, the main objective for players is to reconquer lands captured by the evil Crimson Empire, and, in doing so, to build up their own military and resources by building structures.{{cite web|last=Merriam|first=Blake|title=Bring The Battlefield To Facebook|url=http://blog.seattlepi.com/digitaljoystick/2011/06/06/army-attack-brings-the-battlefield-to-facebook/|publisher=Seattle P-I|accessdate=2012-03-22|archive-date=26 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110826135943/http://blog.seattlepi.com/digitaljoystick/2011/06/06/army-attack-brings-the-battlefield-to-facebook/|url-status=live}} The player must also launch attacks against non-player characters and accomplish other objectives to complete the single-player campaign.
PvP: "Versus Mode"
In PvP mode, called "Versus," Army Attack players battle each other to increase strategic and tactical skills.{{cite web|title=Top 5 Facebook Player v.

If the player's unit is in range of another player's unit, then an attack may be ordered.
In "Versus" mode, a weekly tournament is held amongst players where they can compete for some exclusive in-game rewards.
