Command Chain is a card battler on a 3x3 grid. Place your heroes, line up your strikers, and set off chain reactions where one shot triggers the next. Stack multipliers down a lane and a single turn can go from dozens of damage into the millions. FEATURES - Chain-reaction combat. One trigger cascades across the grid, and position decides everything. - 100+ hero cards across 18 classes. Draft a hand and build a deck that fits how you play. - Merge duplicates to level heroes from Tier 1 to Tier 5 during a run. - 11 worlds, each with its own enemies, hazards, and art, from the Hollowfrost Reach to the Sunken Mire to the Dragon's Temple. - Boss fights that break the rules. The Hydra regrows severed heads. The Twin Wardens revive each other. The Fateweaver loads the dice. The Saboteur Queen swaps your units mid-fight. Read the pattern, then counter it. - Roguelike runs. Draft, upgrade, carry veterans forward, push deeper. - Endless Mode and New Game+ unlock after you clear the campaign. - Portrait or landscape, with 1x, 3x, and 5x battle speed. - Free to play and fully offline. No wifi, no forced timers. HOW IT PLAYS Strikers fire in straight lines, so where you place a card matters. A Sorcerer next to a Mage boosts the whole lane. A Tactician bends a beam around a corner into new targets. A Necromancer poisons through armor. Rangers and Gunslingers pierce dodge and shield. Every board is a new setup, so you read what is in front of you and build the biggest chain you can. CLASSES Mage, Alchemist, Sorcerer, Warlord, Cleric, Shadowknight, Mirror Knight, Bard, Monk, Ranger, Gunslinger, Pyromancer, Stormcaller, Tactician, Necromancer, Tinkerer, Martyr, Quartermaster.

About

Roman Soldier

One action per turn. That's the whole game. The battlefield is a single line of tiles. Each turn you move, turn around, queue a weapon, or release. You take one action — then every enemy takes theirs, in order. In exchange, enemies show you what they are about to do. Where they will step, which weapon they are drawing, and whether that blow lands on you. So a loss is never bad luck. You just read it wrong.
