Deepdive

So, here’s the deal: your land had been terrorized by the countless hordes of nasty orcs, and torn apart by greedy pirates for ages. It is finally the time to put it to an end! Your people were waiting for the one and only hero way too long. Now is the time to prove yourself in intense 3D-animated combat. Your mission is to recruit, arm and train a powerful army and lead the liberation war to save the fantasy-world of Aternum by systematically cleaning orc camps from the map.

It is a journey of the strong and brave: rise above your competition by training your special units to their full potential, and equip them with unique abilities and legendary weapons to enhance your tactical capabilities. Seize victory by skillfully placing your units on the battlefield and you’ll go down as one of the greatest Warlords in the history of Dunmar. The turn-based combat system with a proven “Rock-Paper-Scissors” or even chess kind of mechanic allows you to take your time and think through your turn, choose the desired unit and locate them as you see fit. The controls are very simple, as you simply tap a unit to take command, and tapping again to put them into the desired sector, leaving no room for confusion.

Warlords ease you into its world with some easy beginner battles, little by little adding the difficulty level and more facets to consider. For example, terrain and elevation both play important roles, as does the power ratio between different unit types and their ranking. As a result, all battles somehow differ from one another in terms of the battlefield itself, regiments you can bring into combat and where you can have them set up. You also get to upgrade your units with the ammunition and weapons you win in battles, as well as war banners that raise their stats and critical chance.

What really sets Warlords of Aternum apart from other turn-based combat games is its’ visual part: beautiful cartoon-style graphics, diverse detailed 3D characters, colorful artworks, and visible armor upgrades.

However, it would not be called a strategy game, if the military power alone could help you win. On your journey, you will not only face off against the evil orcish horde and treacherous pirates, but you must also strategically claim key trade and resource outposts, upgrade your equipment, obtain resources, advance your technologies and so on and so forth.

Apart from the regular gradually-thickening PVE mode, there are lots of boss-battles as well as an online multiplayer, so you can extend your fun moments and share them with friends, whether nearby or far away In addition to the eternal gratitude of the good citizens of Dunmar, your heroic efforts will merit a rank among Dunmar’s greatest PvP fighters.

It can boost the progression of your characters leveling and faster gain potentially better equipment as well as battle-ready packs upon unlocking a new character.
