Adventure Tactics (Jam version)

Made for Kenney Jam 2025

Draft your army of Knights and Skeletons, strategically place them in the arena, and watch your tactics unfold in real-time. Spend your Power wisely and unleash devastating abilities to dominate the battlefield.

How to Play

Each round, you'll receive Deployment Power to assemble your team. You can save Deployment Power to use in subsequent rounds, allowing for even more strategic planning! Choose from a roster of unique units, including the durable Knight and the fearsome Skeleton Warrior, and position them carefully on the battlefield.

When you're ready, hit "Start Fight" and watch the battle commence! Your units will act on their own, building Ability Power to unleash powerful skills that can turn the tide. Outwit your opponent's formations to claim victory!
