In the war-scarred land of Tahnra, you play a young academy graduate sent to command an expedition against a rebellion that has abducted Empress Florina. The campaign follows the conflict as it grows beyond its initial mission.
Move squads across grid-based maps, pursue objectives, and choose when and where to engage enemy forces. Each squad’s battles play out automatically, so success depends on positioning and on how its soldiers work together. Terrain, weather, morale, and battlefield objectives can affect the outcome.
Build squads of up to nine soldiers from more than 50 classes. Recruit or train troops, promote them, assign equipment and artifacts, and research class upgrades through a tech tree. Between battles, capture towns and resources, manage your army, and develop relationships between characters.
Players repeatedly praise the freedom to assemble and customize squads, experiment with class combinations, and develop recruits into specialized forces. Many also enjoy planning battlefield positioning and watching a well-built army carry out its strategy. Some appreciate the campaign and retro visuals, though reactions to the story are mixed, and reviewers often mention cumbersome menus and uneven late-game pacing.
At the turn of the millennium, the world of Tahnra is headed for a reckoning. The long and bloody conflict of Veridian Succession left the Empire of Veridia scarred, its people subject to brutal hardships. Under the reign of Empress Florina, the vicious cycle seemed to be broken, until a rogue General abducted her from the capital, mustering his own armies and raising the flag of rebellion. You, a young academy graduate, will command an expedition against these forces… a conflict that will set off a chain of events and shake the very foundations of the world.
