A fantasy strategy game with roguelike mechanics. In Warntorn our primary job is to lead a caravan towards the Beynun fortress. We can gain new allies along the way and we must defeat various enemies in real-time combat. A morale system plays an important role, because dropping morale to zero means a premature end of our journey.

Wartorn Preview: A punishing take on real-time strategy
