❤ Tactical Turn-Based Combat

The turn order in combat alternates between the player's units and the enemy units, rather than going strictly player-then-enemy. This allows players to carefully consider how to best utilize their actions based on the current state of the battlefield, creating a more dynamic and responsive combat experience.

❤ Unit Positioning and Abilities

Positioning units relative to enemies and terrain provides bonuses or penalties. For example, units gain advantages when placed in defensive positions or when flanking opponents. Each character class, such as archers and spearmen, has unique abilities that synergize well when strategically positioned.

❤ Crowd Control and Status Effects

Combat features a variety of status effects that players can inflict on enemies, including fear, poison, and slow. Carefully managing these effects to debuff and control the opposing forces is a key part of successful combat strategy.

❤ Overland Exploration and Resource Management

As players explore the expansive open world, they must manage their party's resources, such as food, supplies, and equipment. Decisions about where to travel and how to equip the party add tension and meaningful choice to the gameplay.

❤ Character Customization and Progression

Players can customize their mercenaries' gear, skills, and appearances as they progress. The game's class system allows for a variety of playstyles, and players must carefully consider how to build and develop their party to suit their preferred approach.

❤ Emergent Gameplay and Replayability

The game's open-ended nature encourages emergent gameplay and multiple playthroughs. The world reacts to the player's actions, and the consequences of their decisions can lead to vastly different experiences. Randomized encounters and varied quests ensure that no two playthroughs are exactly the same.
