About the Game

In Thermopylae: Last Stand, you step into the sandals of King Leonidas, commanding his 300 Spartan hoplites and their Greek allies in a desperate stand at the narrow pass of Thermopylae. The Persian army under Xerxes vastly outnumbers you, and each turn brings relentless pressure: infantry charges, volleys of arrows, and the dreaded Immortals. Your challenge is to hold the line, preserve the cohesion of your phalanx, and decide when to sacrifice men for the greater good.

But the pass is not your only worry. A hidden mountain road threatens to outflank your army if left unguarded. Every decision whether to reinforce the main defense or commit men to the guard the hidden road carries lasting consequences. Fast, dice-driven combat and a puzzle-like formation system put you in Leonidas’ position, forcing you to weigh survival against glory. Can you hold out longer than three heroic days, or change history in an epic last stand?
