## What is Shieldwall Chronicles?

Languages:  English
Supported Devices: iPad Air 2 and later, iPhone 7 and later - WILL NOT WORK ON EARLIER DEVICES

In Shieldwall Chronicles, you lead a mercenary band into the perilous and cold northlands of Tarren. Your search for fortune will see you pitch blade and spell book against a host of enemies including the undead, demons, and lizardmen and many other creatures. In a battle that is part game-book and part tactical RPG, you will build a powerful band of warriors and wizards and tilt the balance of power in the northern kingdoms.

Take part in deep, turn-based combat. Combat is realistic and incorporates details such as weapon range, damage effects, and counter attacks without slowing down gameplay. Players will also have to use cover and line of sight effectively to be successful.

Build a party from among 16 different classes. Choose a party of six heroes that range from scholarly wizards to hardened warriors. Using each character type to their fullest is vital to securing victory as most excel in only certain tasks. Wizards have massively destructive magic but will fall quickly to a simple spear thrust while great warriors can hold off a horde if properly supported.

A unique morale system adds an entirely new tactical layer to the combat. Warriors will fight far better if they believe the tide of battle is on their side and will begin to panic if they believe otherwise. Watching a friend fall or an enemy leader slain drastically affects morale. Arrows and spells, even when they miss, will affect the courage of both friends and foes in their area of effect. Finally, the bloodlust mechanic means certain warriors will find new sources of energy for each foe they slay.

Collect hundreds of powerful magic items to equip your party. Each character can equip up to nine items from swords, shields, cloaks, rings to helmets. Each item can range from a common item that grants only a small benefit to legendary items that can both boost stats and grant entirely new powers to its bearer. Fighters can equip magical rings that can allow them to conjure fireballs or summon undead guardians, for example. The magic item system allows you to customize your party even further and develop entirely new tactics and battle plans.

Enjoy over 40 hours of gameplay in the campaign. Your journey will see you lead your party across snow-covered wilderness, through dark caverns, ancient ruins and the bloody streets of great cities. Battles can be replayed at various difficulties and no level cap provides no end of enjoyment for the die-hard player.

Delve into a gritty, realistic world that blends dark age history and culture with fantasy races and monsters. The northern kingdoms of Tarren are places where men fight in shield walls with spear, axe and sword against elves, dwarfs, goblins and even dragons. Wizards and monsters are powerful but can still be defeated with sound tactics, armour and courage.

### 5/5 — Solid turn based game

*2022-01-07*

Enjoying it so far, I like the ability to gradually level up the slots rather than characters. This allows for rapid switching between characters without bringing in grossly underpowered ones. I’ve got all of the wave light games on iPad, and they scratch an itch!

Keep up the good work!

### 1/5 — Game fails to run even though App Store says it will run!!!

*2021-05-29*

Pretty much couldn’t run the app right away it fails tun load and do anything.  Unsure why store front would say my iPad could run it when it fails to do so! Can’t even get go game menu! Refund is necessary “

### 1/5 — Not exciting and very clunky

*2020-07-26*

I tried to like this game but it’s so clunky on iOS.   The inventory management is ridiculous, trying to deselect an item is like trying to kick toilet paper stuck to your shoe.  Really? What happened to good old drag and drop?   Seems to me like someone pasted a game over an engine.  I didn’t get far enough to see if the story was any good, too frustrated with the controls.

### 5/5 — This game was very good

*2020-07-03*

I really enjoyed playing this game. It is beautifully crafted with no bugs. Graphics good. Gameplay interesting and varied. Turn based so you can take your time in deciding your strategy.

### 1/5 — Does not even start

*2020-05-29*

Can’t even start the app, crashes before loading. Disappointing waste of money

**Developer response:** Hi, I presume this is due to the device not being compatible.  Please send me an email on support and I'll help.

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2020-03-15*

Basically donated $10 as this game is almost unplayable. Terrible interface and terrible tutorial as controls made no sense. Worst game play ever.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2020-02-15*

Just paid for the game and it doesn’t work, won’t load.

**Developer response:** Please send me an email with some details and I'll try and figure out the issue.

### 5/5 — DnD on Mobile

*2019-10-22*

I was blown away by this game! From the narrative, classes, and gameplay, you can tell the creator is a massive fan of DnD. The story is compelling, leveling your characters is addictive, and choosing from a massive variety of items to equip is exciting. The combat is challenging but rewarding. 10/10 recommend this game!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much.  Yes, we are definitely big DnD fans.

### 5/5 — Good Fun

*2019-10-04*

Finished the game and honestly it’s been really fun. It can be a bit laggy and battery draining on max graphics but makes up for that, with decent animations and great voice acting. Definitely hoping for the next game or DLC for a continuation of the story.

**Developer response:** Thanks.  The next game will be a continuation of the sci-fi game and after that we will do another Shieldwall Chronicles game.

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2019-08-02*

Game won’t load I give you 10 bucks your welcome

**Developer response:** Please send me an email with some details and I'll do what I can to help you resolve the issue.
