Battle Chasers: Nightwar

Choose three of six heroes and guide them through a fantasy adventure across an overworld dotted with dungeons and points of interest.

Explore dungeons with changing layouts, where battles share space with traps, puzzles, secrets, and loot. Heroes can use individual dungeon skills to interact with obstacles and mechanisms. Fishing and optional challenges offer other activities beyond the main route. Combat is turn-based, with heroes using basic actions to build temporary overcharge mana for stronger skills. Ability timing, party roles, and team composition shape each fight. Perks, skill choices, equipment, and crafting provide ways to develop the party.
