Tactics

A job-based tactics roguelike with nothing hidden. Every enemy's reach, behavior and reinforcements are on the board. Read it, then craft your path to victory.

• You can't brute-force it. In most tactics games you can just charge in; here that gets someone killed, and death is permanent. Read the enemies, then decide how to take the fight.
• Flank and backstab. Facing matters. Get behind a target for crushing blows, and choose where you face at the end of every turn.
• Zone of control. Melee fighters lock down only the tiles they face. Hold a chokepoint to shield your casters, or slip around the enemy's guard.
• Use the ground. Roads let you rush, rough terrain slows you down. The map is part of your plan.
• Jobs and combos (coming in the full game). Change jobs, stack passives and loot gear to find the combo that breaks the run, then use it.
• Predictable by design. Every enemy follows rules you can learn. No secret abilities, no surprise moves, and reinforcements are announced two turns ahead.

Pick three of four heroes -- warrior, archer, mage, priest -- and lead them through five hand-built isometric stages. A free demo: the first world of a bigger game.

Read the board

Threat lights every tile an enemy can reach next turn; Incoming shows who is coming for whom. Roads, water, tall grass and ruins all change the fight.

Every fight has a job

Rout the goblins. Hold out for eight rounds. Reach the escape point. Bring down the troll.

Build at camp

Between stages, level up, climb each hero's job ladder and swap gear.

Pick your stakes

Easy brings the fallen back after each stage. Normal is permadeath.
