About the Game

2039, a grieved father tries to resurrect his daughter after finding a mysterious book talking about the powers of a strange kind of crystal. His attempt turns into a disaster, not only does he not resurrect his daughter but also he ends up unleashing thousands of spirits of fabled warriors and warlords into the world.

The earth becomes unrecognizable, factions form, and wars rage on! Legends say Are, the god of war is behind this disaster, and delights himself at the sight of the best warriors in history clashing swords for what seems like eternity!

The goal of the game is to defeat the opposing factions by, capturing their castles. This is done by placing workers, gathering resources, placing warriors, developing new technologies, and using the spirits of some of the most famous warriors in history to your advantage.

Players move their pawns similar to chess, defeating an enemy pawn is a simple matter of placing yours on top of it. Unlike chess, if you lose a pawn you can always purchase it later, provided you have the resources necessary. Making resource management an important part of your strategy.

There are three different types of pawns (the hero, warriors, and workers) each pawn has its own particularities.

You can also build walls to defend your castles, or to attack strategically!

Some luck is also required as in order to use the spirits of famous warriors, you have to roll a die.

Multiple game modes are available, making the game very replayable!
