Our take on Pillar of gods
Rather than placing the player directly in command of a large army or empire, the game centers on a summoner who calls individual warriors and heroes with mana. Its side-scrolling battlefield replaces the map-wide structure common to many strategy games.
What is Pillar of gods?
Investigate a palace after the Marquis of the Kingdom loses contact with it and the returning investigators fail to report back.
As a summoner, choose warriors for real-time battles by spending mana. Leveling up allows the selection of a powerful hero or an upgrade for an existing hero. During each battle, enemies advance through a 2D side-scrolling pixel setting, while defense towers can be destroyed. If the village provides a defensive tower or attack support, mana can be upgraded. Summons must be selected carefully because each warrior requires mana. Victory comes from overcoming the incoming enemies, breaking their defensive towers, and defeating the boss. The game combines a medieval fantasy investigation premise with summon management and battlefield combat.
