Dark Tactics is a turn-based tactics game with pixel-art battles on a grid — plan your move, weigh the terrain, and strike before the enemy does. Build a company from 82 heroes across 42 classes — knights, archers, mages, paladins, shadowblades, wolf riders and wyvern riders — and lead them through a 60-chapter campaign across six lands, from open fields to a frozen pass and the dark lands beyond. March across a hand-drawn world map, and rest your party at camp between battles. Every attack shows its forecast first — hit chance, damage and the counter — so each choice is yours to weigh. Short training drills at camp teach each rule, one at a time. On hard, named bosses fight with their own tricks: second winds, marked ground, reinforcements. Beat some of them and they lay down their arms and join you. Earn gold, shop at the trader for potions and gear (and sell your spares), and open a chest the first time you win each chapter. Prefer a quick fight? Ninety skirmishes across nine lands are there any time — and Wanderers roam them: win to meet them on the road, then recruit them with Renown or by doing their feat. Characters level up to 60. Play with a friend, too: co-op splits one army, versus pits your roster against theirs, over local Wi-Fi or online — no sign-up needed.
