Ambushes are also possible during these moments. Burning incense can have primary and secondary effects, with secondary effects not applying to characters you may have set as lookout.
Maybe you’ll be more susceptible to ambushes, or your party becomes more vulnerable to injury, who can say? Events may affect your standing with your party depending on their personalities.Ĭamping out resets that timer, and gives you a breathing moment. All the while, the turn timer at the bottom right ticks down, applying modifiers to your party. If you encounter a roadblock, you might have some tools to make that a non-issue. Here, you can find event tiles that could send you into combat or items, for example. You can bring in some provisions with you before diving in. Instances are just that: depending on the mission, you may be required to enter some cave or somesuch. It pays to be friendly with the towns, as you’ll be offered discounts at establishments at high reputation. You yourself could get caught in an attack, or, business-wise, you’ll have more potential contracts to pick up and swoop in to be their hero. The towns may be affected by certain environmental occurrences, be it bandits blocking the road meaning trade is slow, weather, or a dragon attack. The overworld will have towns and nodes that you can travel to, using up in-game time and gold to whichever direction you’re planning to shuffle over to. There are two “areas” of exploration: the overworld, and the “instances”. It depends on the direction, but it does add another wrinkle to your positioning, especially when you want to consider flanking, too. Last but not least, “attacks of opportunity” are a thing, wherein moving away or towards a unit in melee range can trigger an “overwatch” attack.
Get hit enough, and they can bleed out if you don’t stabilize them on time, so if you’re out of bandages, say goodbye. Units can get grievously injured, a body part here and there affecting their combat performance. The array of status effects are present, with something like Burn able to set the tile on fire if the enemy dies with it in effect. Charges can be restored by way of resting at a camp, subject to the effects of incense, and whether you have provisions to do so to begin with.Įnemies may have their own traits, like how skeletons will resurrect if you don’t completely destroy their little pile of bones. They’re subject to your accuracy, character strength, the usual stuff. That means you’re going to have limited uses of spells outside of your regular attacks. While the game doesn’t use a typical “mana” cost, skills have charges instead. Then, you have the terrain to think of, whether it’s an elemental tile, trapped, a debuff zone… I shouldn’t have been surprised, but when I broke a casket in a cave of undead, another skeleton popped up, and I destroyed that partial cover. You can also manually set a path, which ironically, restricts mobility (as in, the number of tiles). You can walk normally within the green hexes and perform an action, or head to the greyed ones to sprint and end your turn once you reach there. Characters and enemies take their turns depending on their speed. So yes, we have turn-based, tactical combat here, with only 4 to a party to start. Don’t be afraid to mess with those sliders to ease yourself into the learning curve. Besides 3 basic difficulty presets, you can customize it for yourself, be it easier or harder. Let’s just go through this one by one.įlavour wise, you can name your company, change the flag, and give yourself a stupid title if you want. The last of this is technically here in another form, since there is exploration too. It’s resource management and tactics, juggling factors coming from both the inside and outside – so to speak – with battles done on hexes rather than a side-scrolling venture going from room to room. The Iron Oath heavily reminds me of Darkest Dungeon in its gameplay. What is is that there’s a decent number of options for characters, even though, all things considered, there really isn’t that much of them to see.
