About the Game

Gyelfars is a turn-based tactics game with resource management.

Narrative

Cleanse the lands of a strange corruption.

The Game

Effeciently defeat enemies by taking advantage of your unit's strengths, terrain and equipment effects. Use the stance system to eliminate random chance in battle, but at a price.


Battle damage is persistent across maps. Your units and resources are finite. You'll have to live with the results of the decisions you make at the beginning.

The Stance System

The stance system can be used to change the odds of a situation and address frustration born of random hit chances, but with a penalty. There are 3 stances:


Cautious stance
  • Unit evasion percentage is it's chance to evade damage
Reckless stance
  • Target's evasion percentage is now attack damage reduction
  • Unit cannot be evaded
  • Unit cannot evade
  • Unit takes more damage
Defender stance
  • Unit takes damage to energy points before hit points
  • Unit cannot evade
  • Unit cannot attack
  • Units cannot attack or restore without energy points
