Play as either Sir Edward, a noble Knight defending the Human Kingdom, or Krill, a wicked Necromancer with an unearthly lust for power! The game is a greatly expanded version of the series' first entry and adds multiple features such as open world, global events, faction bases, new units, and so on.
The game features a novel "hex-free" movement system that forgoes traditional grid-based constraints. This allows players to tactically maneuver and flank their units based on their size and positioning, rather than artificial limitations.
Spanning 6 playable factions, the diverse unit roster encourages strategic party composition. Each faction has its own lore, traits, and alignments that can impact unit morale and relationships on the battlefield.
The deep well of tactical options, from devastating area-of-effect spells to specialized unit abilities, allows players to extensively customize and upgrade their forces. Discovering synergies between skills and unit types is a key part of the gameplay.
Fallen units stay dead, adding weight and consequence to each battle. Players must be cautious and think critically about their tactics to ensure the survival of their hard-earned, specialized troops.
In addition to the narrative campaigns, the game offers procedurally generated battles and random events to discover. This provides near-endless replayability and opportunities for players to grind, experiment, and tackle challenges at their own pace.
The game's AI is praised for its ability to coordinate effectively and respond to the player's tactics, rather than relying on exploitable behavior. Overcoming the AI's strategic prowess is a rewarding part of the experience.
As units earn unique traits based on their combat experiences, players can develop a sense of attachment and investment in their individual soldiers. Outfitting the perfect party with specialized gear and abilities is a core part of progression.
