Fantasy of Expedition

You lead an army on an expedition across randomized maps. Choose routes that can take you to battles, merchants, events, or rest, weighing safer options against encounters that may offer greater rewards.

Recruit followers with different roles and abilities, gather or buy items and relics, and arrange your units into formations. Position affects trait bonuses, while combining matching units can create higher-tier versions.

Battles play out in real time, with units acting largely on their own while you activate hero skills and make occasional adjustments. Expeditions also feed into longer-term progression through unlockable heroes, classes, and options.

Some supplied reviewers enjoy the game's strategy and army-building, especially planning routes, shaping formations, and preparing units for largely autonomous real-time battles; one describes it as a hidden gem. Other reviews mention uneven unit balance, lengthy battles, late-game boredom, poor character visibility on grassy maps, and frustration with finding a particular achievement event.
