About the Game

The Empire is under attack, and only its mighty armies can save it! Shame you aren't in charge of those, then. Lead an outmatched militia through overwhelming odds in this turn-based strategy game, and save your nation from collapse - and perhaps even an apocalypse. Or, lead the dogged Syrinx foe and crush the Empire thoroughly!

An Empire At War
Caught in the surprise attack of the Syrinx Kingdom, your militia will have to fight desperately to hold its own and give army troops time to fight back. Lead your forces through 10 missions as the Commander of the Carcasier Militia, and hold back the tide.

A Kingdom On The Offense
Alternatively, take the role of the dreaded owl menace and execute a daring assault upon the Empire. Execute your battleplan through 5 missions as leading officer of the forces of the Syrinx Kingdom, and bring the humans to their knees!

A Classic Experience
Upgrade your troops through your campaign, read about the situation at hand through narrative events, and take in the details of the world of Cataclysm Wars through its encyclopedia.

Homebrewed to Completion

Cataclysm Wars is based on a "homemade" tabletop role playing game which has been in constant development for half a decade. It is a world of fading magic and gunpowder, dragons and humanoid owls. It is also a world that has grown over half a decade, with well-explored adventures and fleshed-out characters that now inform the setting of Cataclysm Wars.
