About the Game

Manipulate enemy positions and make use of clever combos in this tactical turn-based strategy game with a focus on creativity rather than number crunching.

Tactical Carnage Awaits

What if Into the Breach had a full campaign? That question sparked the creation of Dark Pact, a game designed to push your tactical skills to the limit while delivering an emotional, gripping story. Inspired by Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, and Into the Breach, Dark Pact aims to stand alongside these legendary titles. Does it succeed? Play the demo and find out!

Master Devastating Abilities

Victory isn’t just about dealing damage—it’s about control. Abilities in Dark Pact don’t just hit hard; they push, pull, taunt, and disrupt, keeping the battlefield in constant flux. Creativity is key to survival.

Earth Splitter – Deal damage in a line and push adjacent units

Blast Off – Launch the target and push back the caster

Boomerang – Strike multiple targets in a single throw.

No Two Enemies Are Alike

Face an ever-changing roster of foes, each requiring a unique approach. Battle cowardly goblins that scatter under pressure, raging minotaurs that charge headfirst into danger, and flaming skeletons that explode on impact. Every encounter is a fresh tactical puzzle.

Epic Boss Battles

Every chapter ends with a high-stakes boss fight, testing everything you’ve learned. Precision, strategy, and mastery of the battlefield are the keys to victory.

Simple to Learn, Deep in Strategy

Combat in Dark Pact revolves around displacement and enemy manipulation. Every attack is telegraphed, giving you the chance to intervene at the perfect moment—redirecting enemies into each other’s attacks, baiting them into deadly hazards, or launching an ogre straight into a pit of lava. The most effective strategies aren’t always obvious, but they’re always satisfying.
