The Iron Oath, a turn-based tactical RPG from Curious Panda Games and Humble Games, shared its gameplay overview video. Learn everything there is to know about leading a group of mercenaries before the game’s arrival in Early Access on April 19th.
“The mercenary life isn’t for the frail or timid. Do you have what it takes to survive and prosper in the harsh land of Caelum?”
The fate of your company rests on your shoulders: command, endure, hire new recruits and manage your operations as you embark on perilous missions to build your group’s renown. As the years progress, the world of Caelum evolves dynamically, opening up new storylines for you to discover and making each new playthrough unpredictable and unique. What fortunes await your company?
The Iron Oath features include:
- High-stakes tactical combat – Proper planning and execution is vital to your success. Deadly foes, traps, and destructible objects mean one misstep could be your party’s undoing.
- The cold march of time – Years pass as you navigate the world. Your mercs will age, retire, and die over the decades, and your company—and strategy—will need to adapt to the shifting tides.
- An ever-evolving overworld – Caelum is a sprawling, always changing realm. Cities fall and rise again as the Noble Houses vie for power, leading to new opportunities and unexpected perils.
- Control your company’s destiny – Manage your guild’s roster, finances, and political relationships. Earn wealth and renown by completing contracts for Caelum’s vying factions, and invest in upgrading your organization.
- Forge your team – An iron chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Assemble a well-rounded crew of warriors, rogues, and spellcasters. Build up their power, customize and complement their abilities, and become a force to be reckoned with.
- Lead wisely, die foolishly – You’ll face difficult decisions, and the path you follow won’t always be popular. Your choices bear consequences that will alter the fates of your mercs, your company, and all of Caelum.
