Set in Etheria, this fantasy strategy campaign puts you in command of a customizable hero and the forces gathered around them. Choose a race and class, then lead your hero from battle to battle.
During real-time battles, build structures, recruit troops, cast spells, and contest the map. Capturing resource-producing buildings supplies gold, stone, metal, and crystal, making control of key locations central to expanding your forces.
Between missions, develop your hero through combat-earned levels, abilities, and equipment. Purchase items and followers, improve an upgradeable castle, and bring surviving retinue members into later battles. The many race and class combinations let you shape different hero builds.
Players in these reviews often enjoy the many ways to customize a hero through race, class, and build choices, alongside progression that carries across battles. They also value the variety of armies and the replay potential it brings to campaigns; nostalgia for the game’s atmosphere and music comes up as well.
