6 itemsAbout the Game
HELLMUTH is a dark fantasy real-time strategy game set in a world where apothecary orders, industrial factions, and corrupted landscapes struggle for control.
Command your forces in real time, expand your position, gather resources, build structures, and use faction-specific units to survive hostile battlefields. Each map is built around tactical pressure: scouting, positioning, timing, economy management, and the ability to react before the enemy overwhelms you.
The game focuses on readable RTS combat with strong visual faction identity. Apothecary forces use disciplined, botanical and alchemical machinery, while industrial enemies rely on blackened steel, pipes, pressure, and unstable magenta corruption. Battles are designed to be visually distinct, with clear unit silhouettes, atmospheric environments, and faction designs that make every encounter immediately recognizable.
Features include:
Real-time strategy gameplay with base building, unit production, and tactical combat
Distinct factions with different visual identities, structures, and battlefield roles
Resource management and expansion under pressure
Hand-crafted maps with varied terrain, chokepoints, water, ruins, industrial zones, and hostile wilderness
A grim fantasy-industrial setting built around corruption, survival, and control
A strong visual focus on 2D/2.5D RTS readability, faction contrast, and atmospheric worldbuilding
HELLMUTH is currently in active development. The Coming Soon page presents the game’s direction, visual identity, and core RTS foundation as development continues.
