Shields of Loyalty

Shields of Loyalty is a dark fantasy strategy game played out turn by turn, set in an atmospheric 2D realm that draws on genre classics while adding modern features. You march an army onward, fight after fight, across the hostile islands of Mantaria, with deep replay value and demanding tactics.

You take one of three distinct commanders, each one bending the strategy a different way: Aglovan the Noble, a cavalry commander who rallies a diverse army; Warlord Karnoth, a barbarian leader built on brute strength and strong infantry; and Sargon I, a spellcasting commander whose presence bolsters friendly spellcasting and softens the magic damage coming back at you. You train units into stronger soldiers, collect artifacts to enhance them and unlock specialized abilities, while freeing legendary heroes from past wars and turning their auras to your benefit.

Tactical depth comes from positioning clever formations on the terrain and massing units into bigger squads to weather the undead assault. The campaign moves through diverse biomes, the forested, swampy Darkwoods, the trap-laden Eternal Ice and the molten Lava Desert, and random hazards of the environment, lightning, storms, meteorites, strike friend and foe without distinction. Decisions you make unlock some levels and block others, inviting you back to face every challenge.
