Our take on Veterum

The broad tactical model trades immediate pacing for battlefield detail: morale, fatigue, facing, visibility, weather, terrain changes, and prebattle preparations all add decisions before an outcome is settled.

What is Veterum?

Veterum is a turn-based tactical strategy game set across an open world.

Players lead a remaining Gatekeeper force, enlist humans, dwarves, elvers, and turans, undertake quests, collect artifacts, and develop troops through gear, attributes, and abilities. Combat considers morale, exhaustion, unit orientation, visibility, light levels, weather, and changing ground conditions. Troops may construct barricades, excavate trenches, freeze waterways, fell trees, and create fires when facing creatures of the night. Single-use scrolls can modify battle conditions beforehand. Each campaign generates quests, chance encounters, urban merchandise, and other content. Players can modify difficulty, accuracy, health, and prizes. Mission and map editors allow custom scenarios to be shared.
