Our take on Battle Craft
The game combines settlement management with detailed hero combat, but that breadth also means progress depends on developing both defenses and fighters. Players focused on quick battles may find the settlement-building and training cycle takes attention away from the fights.
What is Battle Craft?
Battle Craft is an online strategy game in which each player develops a settlement.
Gather gold and mana to build defenses and train heroes, then send heroes on raids against other players. Successful raids award resources and hero experience, and affect player ranking. Settlement defenses can be placed strategically, while heroes are deployed tactically during attacks. The game includes patrol routes for guards, ranged and melee combat, towers, cannons that require a trained character to operate, mounts, and trainable combat abilities.
Heroes earn experience through battles, and the game tracks damage, kills, hits to body parts, and decapitations. Rankings, a leaderboard, and player leagues provide ways to compare standing. As players progress, the setting moves through increasingly modern and technological eras.
