Dark Envoy Siblings in a war of guns and magic

Malakai and Kaela grew up in the City of Bones, digging through ruins for the treasures of a vanished race. It pays well until they open a vault nobody was supposed to find. From there, the Empire and the League both want what they have, and the siblings are dragged into a conflict that was never theirs.

The world around them is the fun of it: humans arrived on Jaan without a drop of magic, so they built guns, mana-fueled machines and flying ships instead, while the native peoples answered with fireballs. Neither side is the good one. Your goal is not to save the world but each other, and the choices you make carry real weight in how the story ends.

Fights run in real time, but the moment enemies spot you, you can drop into tactical slow motion: move each character, line up spells, and manage cooldowns while the world crawls along at a fraction of speed. Pause fully when four people need orders at once.

The battlefields reward attention. Cover cuts incoming fire, turrets can be hacked, barrels explode when shot, and patches of quicksand slow down anything that crosses them, yours or theirs. Line of sight matters, mana limits how often you can spam abilities, and a well-set bottleneck with summons holding the door can shred an entire wave. Five difficulty settings, with the top one demanding you break the system outright.
