Quick, tactical duels on a tabletop battlefield
Matches are short, turn-based skirmishes between two captains and their crews. You deploy units onto the board, weigh every move against cover and line of sight, and spend a resource called Cinder to summon crew or trigger abilities. There is more than one way to win: hold objective zones for points, out-kill the enemy crew, or go straight for the captain. The goal you chase can change mid-match, which keeps a fight lively. You can play against other people, practice against AI, or take a roguelike run through the single-player Boss Run mode. It is quick to learn and the turns keep coming.
Building a roster that plays like you
Every unit is its own thing: distinct abilities, stats and personality, and no two rosters play alike. You pick one captain, whose death loses you the match, and fill out the crew around them. Go wide with a swarm of cheap units that threaten the whole board, sit back and snipe, or build around hunting the enemy captain directly. Captains support different playstyles, so swapping one changes how the same crew feels. The trade-off is real: every slot you fill is a unit you left behind. Once the match starts, your whole roster is available from the first turn, and it is up to you what to deploy and when.
How deep does the world go?
Is there a story or lore beyond the matches?
Yes. The game is set in The Reaches, a sci-fi universe created by Brandon Sanderson, and the lore is a real part of the package. There are audio dramas written by Dan Wells, fully voiced dialogue in the game performed by professional voice actors, and an unlockable Codex that collects the world's characters and cultures. A common pairing among players is listening to an audio drama while painting a figure, which says something about how the pieces fit together.
Can you play it solo, or is it only PvP?
You can play entirely solo. Boss Run is a single-player roguelike adventure mode against AI, and there are AI opponents for practice matches as well. The competitive side is 1v1 against other players, so the choice of opponent is yours. One honest note: some players find the strategic depth runs thin after many hours, since matches revolve around a small set of objectives, while others find every match plays out differently. How much mileage you get depends on how much you enjoy refining a roster.
