Use your cards and strategic thinking to change and reverse the roles of soldiers. Made for GMTK Game Jam 2023.

Hints

  • Drag and drop cards onto soldiers on the grid. 
  • Most cards can only be applied to two adjacent soldiers on the grid. 
  • You might want to skip a couple of turns in the beginning.

Known issues

  • Sometimes several soldiers spawn in one cell, which might lead to confusing behavior: weird attack patterns or unexpected card use outcomes.

Did I win?

Very fun concept! But I wish it had an end goal instead of going on into infinity... Would love there to be an enemy castle to siege, and the red line being the point past which you can't use your cards or something instead of where your troops stop advancing.

Love this game, played it for like 2 hours!

I wish the game had clearer instructions, I was very lost in the beginning, but the concept is amazing! With just 3 types of soldiers you can do so much, I can't even imagine the potential with more! One of the best games Ive rated so far, artsyle is amazing too

Took me a while to figure what's going on but very interesting idea once I understood the game. Really nice art style too. Would be nice to have some explanation on what each of the classes do (like how the rifles man attack from 2 tiles away)
