Lone King

Please offer feedback for final release.

Simultaneous-turn-based tactics with a single mech against a small army. Simple controls inspired by chess. Play the first two story chapters and arcade mode for free, and comment in the Steam forums to voice your opinion on problems and suggestions.

Choose your Maniple and give it a single order: where to move. Attacks, abilities, hacking, and environmental effects are contextually triggered, and each Maniple moves and attacks differently. The challenge of this game's design was to offer strategic depth with a simple control scheme.

Levels are randomly generated with random combinations and positions of enemies, enemy abilities, and terrain. The game is designed around quick matches that last around 5-10 minutes. You can instead customise the setup, or just remove game modes, stages, and characters from the random rotation if you don't like them.
