❤ Methodical Turn-Based Tactics

Players control a faction with a powerful commander unit and an army of specialized troops like infantry, archers, and siege weapons. On each turn, you can move and command every unit, carefully positioning them to take advantage of the game's rock-paper-scissors unit interactions. Different unit types deal extra or reduced damage against certain enemies, so you must thoughtfully consider your composition and placement to gain the upper hand.

❤ Commanding with Unique Abilities

A key mechanic is the inclusion of commander units. These leaders fight alongside your army and have special "Groove" abilities that can dramatically shift the tide of battle. For example, the commander Nuru can summon a ghostly warrior to attack enemies, while Greenfinger can heal nearby allied units. Effectively managing your commander's Groove meter and timing its activation is crucial to victory.

❤ Mastering Critical Positioning

Another core tactic is setting up critical hits, where units deal extra damage by meeting certain positioning conditions. Pikemen gain a damage bonus when attacking adjacent to friendly pikemen, rewarding careful unit placement. Recognizing and engineering these optimal critical hit scenarios is essential to emerging victorious.

❤ Navigating the Terrain

The game's maps feature diverse terrain, from defensive forests to movement-hindering mountains and rivers. Maneuvering units to leverage these environmental factors is key - taking the high ground in a forest grants a defensive bonus, but may limit your vision and mobility. Weighing these tradeoffs is part of the tactical challenge.

❤ Endless Customization and Replayability

While there are no traditional RPG progression systems, the game's robust map editor and sharing tools provide limitless replayability. You can design and distribute your own custom scenarios, campaigns, and even cutscenes, ensuring a steady stream of new strategic challenges beyond the included content.
