Ascend to the Macedonian throne as Alexander the Great and relive his conquests! Fighting alongside redoubtable and quirky commanders, recruit numerous types of balls for your army, construct countless cities named Alexandria, and build an empire that stretches to the ends of the known world!
Players can employ a variety of tactical maneuvers to outmaneuver their opponents in the game's turn-based battles. For example, they can flank enemies for bonus damage, fortify infantry, charge cavalry, and strategically position ranged units. The battles offer an "infinite range of possibilities" as players must carefully manage their limited action points each turn to command their diverse army effectively.
The game allows players to choose from billions of possible army combinations, drawing from a wide variety of ball-themed military units, each with their own distinct martial traditions. This enables players to experiment with unconventional army compositions, such as an all-archer build, to surprise their opponents.
Alongside the tactical battles, the game also features an empire management aspect. Players must carefully balance keeping their subjects happy, placing loyal governors in key positions, and maintaining control over their far-flung territories. This adds an extra layer of strategic depth, as players navigate the complicated political landscape to prevent their empire from crumbling.
The story-driven experience allows players to relive and refight some of Alexander the Great's most iconic battles. As the journey progresses, Alexander's legendary companions grow and develop alongside the young king, with dozens of cutscenes bringing the most memorable moments from his life to life.
The game also offers a local PvP multiplayer mode, where players can challenge their friends to battles that test both their army management skills and their knowledge of turn-based tactics. The wide range of possible unit and general combinations ensures that there is always something new to discover and experiment with.
