In a medieval world overrun by the Mort, you guide the Ashen Hawk Brigade, a small band of mercenaries resisting the invasion. The campaign follows the five members through a series of battles and story scenes.
Combat takes place on tactical maps against larger enemy forces. Each Brigade member has distinct abilities and a set weapon type; positioning allies near a target can trigger coordinated attacks, and characters can move after attacking. Managing action points helps determine when to strike, use skills, or reposition.
Between battles, characters level up and spend skill points, while weapons and recovery items require resource management. Maps can contain treasure and written records about the ravaged world, and optional skirmishes provide additional opportunities to fight and collect resources.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its tactical battles, especially the way positioning enables linked attacks and makes a small squad effective against larger forces. The soundtrack and cutscenes also receive recurring praise, and some players appreciate the focused five-character cast and bleak setting. Reviews differ on the story, difficulty, and battle pacing; repeated complaints include costly weapon repairs and fights that can feel repetitive.
