Hero 01
Necromancer
Tholm, the very tired
Carries a skull on a stick and a grudge from the third age. Heals nobody. Raises everybody. Necromancy is a job, not a flex.
Now in development
Greenskin
A turn-based pixel-art tactics game. Raise the dead, blast the living, and teleport across the battlefield as a ragtag warband featuring an orc, a troll, the family wolf and one very tired necromancer.
01The battlefield
Tight, deterministic turn-based fights on a hand-pixeled grid. No RNG damage. No fake difficulty. Every loss is your fault.
In-game · pre-alpha
02The warband
Four units. Each one is on their last legs and pretending otherwise. Pick a marching order and try not to lose anyone you like.
Hero 01
Hero 02
Orc
Grokk, two-handed
Two-handed axe. One-track mind. Gets stronger as he gets bloodier — and he is always getting bloodier. Stand behind him.
Hero 03
Troll
Yrra, of the swamp
Reads omens in rotten leaves. Mends bones with worse bones. Speaks four words of common, three of them rude.
Hero 04
Wolf
Brak
Fastest unit on the field. No spells, no manners, no second moves. Flank, bite, retreat before he turns into a problem.
03Spellbook
The necromancer's three opening moves. Used in this order, you survive turn two. Used in the wrong order, you don't.
Raise dead
MP20Pull a corpse out of the dirt. It walks. It hits. It does not last. Best used on whatever the enemy just killed five seconds ago.

04How it plays
Four design rules. We do not break them.
/01
No RNG damage
Every hit lands. Every number on the tooltip is the number on the board. Fights are puzzles, not slot machines.
/02
Hand-pixeled
Every sprite, tile and icon drawn by hand at native resolution. Nearest-neighbour upscale only. Crisp pixels, sharp corners, no filters.
/03
Deterministic AI
Enemies follow a stated rulebook. If you read it, you can outplay it. Difficulty comes from the puzzle, not the dice.
