Our take on Way of Gold and Steel
Its defining structure puts a controllable roguelike character inside a real-time strategy framework, with followers receiving spoken commands while the player fights directly and manages equipment across dungeon-crawling encounters.
What is Way of Gold and Steel?
Way of Gold and Steel combines real-time strategy with roguelike dungeon crawling.
Instead of directing only construction and technology progress from a global view, the player controls a character directly. Followers receive verbal orders, while the player also takes part in fights. The game includes inventory and equipment management alongside character control and command of followers. This creates a hybrid structure in which real-time strategic direction and hands-on dungeon-crawler play take place together.
