Our take on Lorhaven: Cursed War
The presentation gives substantial weight to haunted lore and legendary heroes, while the described play is primarily a castle-command strategy game. Hero recruitment is also limited, so the promise of varied legendary commanders does not mean an unrestricted roster is available throughout the campaign.
What is Lorhaven: Cursed War?
Lorhaven: Cursed War is a strategy RPG in which players command a castle during an undead invasion.
The campaign moves through haunted provinces and reveals the history behind the conflict. Armies are built from different unit types, while heroes have distinct abilities and limited recruitment opportunities, making selection part of the strategy. Battles are supported by broader map decisions, including taking towns, lumber mills, and mines for resources. Castles can be reinforced with defensive walls, and units can occupy towers to extend their view. The game includes authored maps and a map editor for creating additional battlefields. Progress through the campaign also exposes the setting’s lore and the cause of the undead return.
