About

Warlore

Features
Read full description

Build the army history never saw. Then lead it to victory. In Warlore, you draft warriors from across civilizations and eras: Roman legions, Mongol horse archers, Napoleon's grenadiers, World War II paratroopers. Mix them freely, deploy them across three battle fronts, and fight real historical engagements on their actual terrain. DRAFT YOUR ARMY Each run deals you a civilization and era. Pick one unit, lock it into a slot, and draw again. Six slots, six chances to build something brilliant, or dangerously experimental. A Viking berserker alongside a WWI machine gunner? Go ahead. A Janissary dropped by parachute? The fusions reward exactly that kind of madness. DEPLOY ACROSS THREE FRONTS The battle isn't decided by a single roll. Drag your units onto the left flank, center, or right, then watch the line hold or break. Leave a flank undefended and the enemy wheels through and envelops your strongest position. Win a flank decisively and your victors sweep into the next fight. COUNTER THE DOCTRINE Every enemy army fights a doctrine: phalanx wall, cavalry charge, horse-archer swarm, gunpowder line. Scout their strength, read their pattern, and field the roles that hard-counter them. Heavy infantry breaks cavalry. Cavalry runs down archers. Skirmishers harass siege trains. Getting the counters right is the difference between a close win and a perfect 6-0. RESPECT THE TIMELINE Bring a tank to Thermopylae and it sinks to its axles in ground no engineer has paved, a very expensive boulder. Industrial-age tech needs infrastructure that ancient battlefields simply don't have. Chemistry is fair game anywhere (a musket still fires at Cannae), but machinery needs its era. UNLOCK FUSIONS Pair war elephants with air superiority. Weld Mongol mobility to armored firepower. Combine a Roman shield wall with automatic fire. Fusions fire when two matching tech tags appear anywhere in your army, across any civilization or era, and they're tracked in a growing Codex as you discover them. ROGUELIKE STREAK Every win deepens the challenge. The enemy grows stronger with your streak, demanding tighter composition and sharper tactical choices. A 6-0 flawless victory, destroying the enemy roster without losing a single soldier, is the true measure of mastery. Available in English and Turkish.
