Our take on Ancient lands: the Tsar awakening
The store copy emphasizes combat combinations, weapon cards, and environmental tactics, while giving less detail about how the wider story unfolds. The narrative premise is clear, but the heroes’ backgrounds and the progression of their investigation are presented only in broad terms.
What is Ancient lands: the Tsar awakening?
Control a team of three heroes in a fantasy, turn-based tactical game that combines combat with card-based equipment.
Each hero has a unique deck, and new weapons add options for battle. Coordinate the heroes’ actions and combine weapon effects to create different combat combinations. Encounters also use the environment: enemies can be lured into traps or thrown into abysses. The story follows three heroes investigating hostile creatures, their origins, and the source of the threat spreading across the land. The heroes must confront the creatures, resist the advancing darkness, and liberate the land. Battles continue to challenge the squad with numerous enemies while the story develops around the fight against their source.
