❤ Craft Fantastical Civilizations

Players can mix and match different faction traits, cultures, and abilities to craft unique fantastical civilizations, from "barbaric moles" to "engineer elves" and "toad lords." This deep level of customization allows you to tailor the gameplay experience to your specific preferences and playstyles, creating endless replayability.

❤ Explore a Branching Tech Tree

The tomes act as a tech tree, unlocking new spells, units, and upgrades. The different affinities, such as Chaos or Materium, offer unique bonuses and playstyles, encouraging you to carefully consider your faction's development path. As you research higher-tier tomes, your faction physically transforms, allowing for visually striking transformations as your civilization evolves.

❤ Engage in Tactical Combat Challenges

Combat offers a deep, turn-based tactical experience. Each battle is a "chess match," requiring you to carefully consider unit abilities, terrain, and spell usage to emerge victorious. The variety of unit types and magical abilities creates a dynamic combat system that never feels repetitive, challenging you to adapt your strategies to each new encounter.

❤ Craft Your Own Epic Sagas

While the game lacks a traditional linear campaign, it shines in its emergent storytelling and world exploration. Each game session takes place in a new, procedurally generated realm, with unique features, factions, and events that unfold based on your decisions. This encourages replayability as you uncover new narratives and challenges in each playthrough, allowing you to craft your own epic sagas.

❤ Progress Towards Godhood

The game features a meta-progression system, where you earn points for completing campaigns that can be used to unlock new customization options and bonuses. This "Pantheon" system provides a sense of long-term progression and encourages you to keep returning to the game, as you work towards unlocking more powerful options for your future playthroughs.
