I've always wanted to make a Tactical RPG game in the style of Fire Emblem, Disgaea, Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Langrisser, Vandal Hearts, etc. and I found a good subterranean style tile set, so I decided to just go for it. I wanted to make something that reminds me of Sega Saturn import games from the mid-90s.

As is often the case with my solo projects, the controls and stuff are not well explained, and I kind of force the player to figure stuff out on their own. You can press ? or Esc in-game for a controls primer pop-up. I'm worried that the game is too easy but usually people tell me my games are too hard.

Since you've read this far, I'll give you a power gamer tip: you can move your dwarf units next to an enemy to "charge" attack, and then click them again and click the adjacent enemy for a "melee" attack. Do both attacks in the same turn for lots of damage.

Thanks for playing! Leave me a comment and I will try to rate your game.
