COMMAND. ENDURE. CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES.
The land suffocates under the corrupting influence of the Umbral Moon. The gods will not answer, panic spreads among the populace, and the days grow ever darker.
You are a veteran commander leading a desperate band of misfits towards an almost certain doom. In this narrative-driven tactical RPG, victory in combat is only half the battle. To survive, you must navigate a minefield of personalities, make agonizing choices, and reap the rewards necessary to fuel your war machine.
MASTER THE MOMENTUM OF BATTLE
Beyond positioning and synergy, combat is about rhythm. Master the unique Killing Momentum system, where exploiting weaknesses and chaining critical hits builds into unstoppable destructive combos. Be warned, however, as tides turn quickly. A single mistake can shatter your momentum, cost you the battle, and end your journey.
Punishing, turn-based tactical combat where every move counts.
No grinding. Progression is gained through smart decisions and hard-fought victories, not repetitive battles.
Brutal AI that plays by the same rules you do, and will show no mercy.
EVERY CHOICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE
While rival teams seek to steal your glory, the journey to the Temple is rife with dangerous encounters. As commander, you must make the hard choices, and the outcomes may not always be pleasant.
Will you risk your best warrior to save a stranger? Will you sacrifice innocents to fuel your own strength? Your choices have direct, mechanical consequences: permanent buffs, debilitating injuries, new skills, or sudden death. The better you perform in battle, the better your odds are in the overworld, and vice versa.
A TEAM OF UNLIKELY, BROKEN HEROES
Your companions are not mere collections of numbers. Each has their own backstory, agenda, and worldview. Be they noble knights, chaotic fools, bloodthirsty rogues, or haughty wizards, they act on their own interests and won’t hesitate to clash with those they despise.
At camp, when darkness falls, bonds are silently forged. Friendships may unlock powerful co-op abilities, while rivalries can lead to disaster on the road. As commander, it is your duty to manage this friction. Will your team grow united and stronger, or break into pieces, becoming easy prey for every predator along the way?
