The battlefield is set. The air crackles with the remnants of ancient magic, and the drums of war echo across the shattered land. In Mythic Battlegrounds: Demonic Siege, every decision is a step towards survival-or an invitation to doom. This is not a game of twitch reflexes or split-second reactions. No, here, victory belongs to the tactician, the strategist who plans three steps ahead, anticipating the tide of war before it even reaches the frontline.
Dochi Games, a small yet ambitious team of three, has crafted a turn-based strategy experience that thrives on preparation and foresight. The battles may resolve automatically, but make no mistake-this is no idle game. The moment-to-moment tension is not in the clash itself, but in the choices leading up to it. Resource management, unit training, skill selections-these are the elements that shape the battlefield before the first sword is drawn.
You are the commander, standing at the helm of one of four great races-Humans, Elves, Orcs, or Dwarves. Each brings its own unique warriors, legendary commanders, and a distinct approach to warfare. Do you trust in the resilience of dwarven steel, the precision of elven archers, the overwhelming might of orcish brutality, or the disciplined strategy of human legions? The choice is yours, and each carries its own risks and rewards.
The Art of War: Planning is Everything
As the demonic horde marches ever forward, your forces stand as the last line of defence. Each turn is an opportunity-to strengthen your ranks, to invest in future growth, to outmanoeuvre an enemy that shows no mercy. Gold must be spent wisely; do you pour it into elite troops now, or let it accumulate to reap greater rewards later? The tension of these decisions is palpable, the weight of responsibility ever-present.
Then there are the commanders, the beating heart of your army. Eight legendary leaders stand ready, each bringing their own signature abilities to the fight. Kaela Valtorin, the Master-at-Arms, transforms common militias into disciplined warriors, while Archdruid Archeon bends the forces of nature to his will, summoning powerful creatures to aid in battle. These aren’t just units-they’re game-changers, capable of shifting the tide when all seems lost.
A Growing Army, a Living Legacy
There’s no room for static tactics here. With over 40 unit types to command, each with their own strengths and synergies, adaptability is key. And as battles rage on, your soldiers evolve. Experience in the field makes them stronger, deadlier. The archer you trained on day one? By the final siege, she may be a marksman capable of felling even the most monstrous demons. Every victory is an opportunity to refine your forces, every loss a lesson to be learned.
Beyond the Battlefield: Quests, Bosses and Consequences
The war is more than just a sequence of battles. Between each skirmish lies the opportunity to undertake quests-special challenges that offer powerful rewards. Some are gambles, tempting you with high-risk, high-reward scenarios that could alter your entire campaign. Do you take a dangerous mission for an early power spike, or play it safe, knowing the late-game is where true strength is forged?
The demonic siege won’t be easy to break. You’ll face off against more than 60 different enemy types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Test your might against 20 powerful bosses, each guarding the way to new abilities and the next chapter of your journey. With every victory, you can unlock new skills that will improve your economy or give you the edge in warfare.
No two campaigns unfold the same way. Randomised enemy waves, diverse skill trees, and different commander choices ensure that no strategy remains dominant for long. The world is ever-changing, demanding constant adaptation. What worked once may not work again, and the best commanders know when to pivot.
Epic Story, Streamlined Strategy
Despite its deep tactical layers, the game itself remains accessible. There’s no overwhelming complexity in its controls-just a refined, intuitive system that lets you focus on what truly matters: outsmarting the enemy. The grand storyline unfolds from the quiet beginnings of Aeshen’s Rest to the apocalyptic final stand against the demonic tide, weaving a narrative of desperation, heroism, and sacrifice.
The question is simple: Are you ready? The forces of darkness will not wait. The siege begins, and only the greatest strategists will endure.
This is war. This is survival. This is Mythic Battlegrounds: Demonic Siege.
