Our take on Defense and Revenge
The description calls the battles dynamic, but the game is presented as turn-based strategy. Its tactical emphasis is on movement, facing, and preparation between locations, rather than on real-time combat.
What is Defense and Revenge?
Defense and Revenge is a turn-based strategy game about leading an orc tribe after humans attack its village.
Players can raid vulnerable enemy groups and rob caravans, then use the resources they gain to strengthen the tribe. The village serves as a place to equip and train fighters and restore their stamina. Eight character classes are available, and missions use procedural generation. Each mission spans several locations, with a preparation stage before each one.
Battles use positioning and unit facing: attacking from different angles can provide a bonus. Temporary item effects vary with a fighter’s starting condition, while negative effects can stack and produce additional consequences. The game also emphasizes movement during combat and does not require waiting for fighters to recover their parameters between fights.
