• Refined Core Gameplay
  Command up to a dozen units on grid-based maps, exploiting the rock-paper-scissors weapon triangle and terrain bonuses. Movement and attack ranges require careful foresight—especially because your best unit can get ambushed by a hidden archer.
• Emotional Stakes with Permadeath
  Characters who fall in battle are gone for good, turning a single misstep into a heartbreaking loss. You'll remember restarting a 40-minute chapter because your favorite Pegasus Knight, Tana, got critted by a ballista.
• Flexible Character Progression
  Pick promotion paths like turning your mage into a sage for staves or a mage knight for mobility. Choosing whether to make Ross a pirate or a fighter first dictates his entire late-game potential—and he absolutely wrecks as a Berserker.
