Dark Wizard

The game blends overworld strategy with turn-based tactical combat. On the map layer, you move armies between towns, capture territory, recruit units, and manage your growing forces. Battles take place on isometric fields where positioning, terrain, unit type, and turn order all matter. Magic, special abilities, and reinforcement timing can swing fights, and progress is tied to expanding your control across the campaign map.

Lion

One of the four playable lords, leading a human force with a straightforward heroic campaign.

Alicia

A playable lord who leans on magic and balanced army composition.

Bargas

A playable lord focused on aggressive advances and heavy pressure.

Dark Lord

The main antagonist driving the game's dark fantasy conflict.

Secure towns early and keep a steady flow of reinforcements before pushing too far. In battle, use terrain and ranged units to weaken enemies before closing in. Protect spellcasters and key leaders, and try to eliminate opposing commanders quickly to reduce their ability to recover and recruit.

Tips and tricks

• Check each town's unit pool and resources before choosing your route.
• Keep frontline and support units separated to avoid losing them to area attacks.
• Use captured towns to replenish forces and maintain momentum.
