We Love It's Guide to…

Tyranny

You play as a Fatebinder, an officer serving an Overlord who has already conquered much of the world. Sent to manage conflict in the occupied Tiers, you decide how to exercise your authority and which factions to support, oppose, or betray. Explore locations, take on quests, and navigate disputes through dialogue, skill checks, and consequential decisions. When talks give way to battle, command a party in tactical real-time combat that can be paused to direct characters and use their abilities. Build your character without a rigid class choice, develop skills, and create spells by combining magical components. Decisions affect faction and companion relationships, which can unlock abilities and shape later events; different conquest choices and alliances offer routes through the story.

As a tyrant’s Fatebinder, shape the conquered Tiers through faction choices, party combat, and custom spellcraft.
