Our take on Militia
The compact solo structure receives most of the emphasis, while the included Dark World content is easy to overlook. It is a separate advanced mode with its own heroes, enemies, and ladder, not simply an extra set of levels for the main mode.
What is Militia?
Militia is a single-player, turn-based strategy game about commanding a small troop of warriors, mages, and cavalry.
Each allied unit receives one command during the player's turn, followed by enemy movement governed by fixed, visible rules. The objective is to defeat local bandit captains and advance through a solo ranking ladder while learning new tactics. Procedurally generated levels vary the challenges between sessions. The game includes the Dark World expansion at no extra cost. This separate mode introduces its own heroes, enemies, and ladder, and is described as a more advanced game mode. Battles are structured as compact tactical encounters, with progression centered on improving play and gaining ranks.
