This brings me to one form of the law/chaos system, which is the field balance. If push comes to shove, they can always move after they attack as well, but only if they defeat the other unit.

There have certainly been times where I was trying to take out the engaged units with a ranged attack so that my melee units could advance and attack. It’s designed to allow you to control territory so units can’t just run around your defense and smack you in the face.Īdditionally, once you’ve engaged a unit, or set of units, you can’t always withdraw, making it doubly hard to run a well designed defensive blockade. There’s a blocking mechanic that reminds me of the D&D attack of opportunity mechanic. Naturally being on higher ground than the opponent gives you an advantage. The elves have a powerful ranged attack that I’ve found quite handy, especially if you can get them on high ground. The enemy wizard has also used the lion a couple of times, but usually uses a goblin or rat pack, which is three separate creatures that are individually fairly weak. The creatures I’ve seen so far are the lion, elf, and dwarf for myself. I’ll address the law/chaos system later, as it has a couple of different forms. There’s an attack spell in the tutorial with a range of two, I think, and a card that alters the law/chaos balance of the board that has a range of self, technically. All the summons I’ve seen have a range of one. You drag a card to the intended destination. If he goes down you lose.Ĭasting spells is pretty straightforward. If this were chess, the wizard is your king. You are the wizard, you cast spells, including but not limited to summoning spells, in an attempt to kill the other wizard. In reality, it plays like a combination of XCOM, Hearthstone, with some D&D-like elements as well. Is it, ultimately, a turn-based strategy game that does resemble XCOM, but with wizards and a hex grid. For what it’s worth, I used the demo for this post, and haven’t even finished the tutorial, so I expect there are plenty of mechanics and things that I haven’t even seen yet. In fact, this is Snapshot’s first game, and an interesting one it is. I’ve talked recently about Phoenix Point, and corrected myself on it being Snapshot’s first game.
