Our take on Swords and Sorcery - Underworld - Definitive Edition
Rather than using a real-time combat loop common in many fantasy adventures, the game builds encounters around turns, spacing, delayed actions, hiding, and coordinated party movement on a square grid. Its first-person presentation is paired with tactical positioning instead of direct-action fighting.
