Released in 2023, this title is a tactical RPG with rogue-lite elements, available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), and Nintendo Switch.

Story and Setting

The game unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by a magical cataclysm, the result of warring schools of magic. A pervasive mist now blankets the land, spawning monstrous creatures that emerge each night to threaten the last remaining bastions of humanity. Players are tasked with defending these settlements and protecting the mages who hold the key to casting The Last Spell, a desperate attempt to rid the world of magic. The game establishes a grim atmosphere of survival, where strategic planning and resource management are critical in the face of overwhelming odds.

Gameplay Mechanics

The core gameplay loop combines turn-based tactical combat with city-building mechanics. During the day phase, players focus on rebuilding and reinforcing their city's defenses, crafting essential weapons and armor, and strategically positioning their heroes for the coming night. The night phase plunges players into intense battles against hordes of monsters, requiring the use of skills, spells, and careful positioning to survive until dawn.

Rogue-lite Elements

A key feature of the game is its rogue-lite structure. Each playthrough presents a unique challenge with procedurally generated maps, varying enemy compositions, and randomized item drops. This design demands adaptability and strategic flexibility from the player.

Hero Management

Players manage a squad of heroes, each possessing unique skill trees and abilities. Customizing hero builds to create powerful synergies and counter specific enemy types is essential for success. Balancing resource allocation, city development, and tactical combat is crucial to withstand the escalating nightly threats.
