Fantasy Turn-Based Tactics Game Skygard Arena 1.0 Out on Steam

With a customizable cast, a campaign with modular AI, and a PvP mode, this game has a lot to give! Check out the 1.0 release of this tactical turn-based fantasy game, Skygard Arena!

Developed by Gamelli Games, Skygard Arena is a strategy game that makes use of a turn-based system of combat. Taking place on the world of Skygard, five factions vie for power, competing in a competition to avoid war. You control a group of characters from these factions to fight your foes, and claim victory for your factions survival.

The squad you command is made up of a wide cast of champions, hailing from different parts of the world of Skygard. Each character has their own skills, while also having the choice of two distinct gameplay styles to fit your composition. Whether you prefer all-out offense or impenetrable defense, you will have thousands of different team compositions to choose from.

In terms of the core gameplay, the game uses a system similar to Mario + Rabbids, being grid and turn-based. Each character takes their turns moving along a map in a grid, positioning and performing actions. You can view the turn order at any time, meaning that you can more easily plan ahead for future movements.

When it comes to the modes in the game, you can choose between a single player campaign or some PvP gameplay. The campaign has a variety of missions to choose from, with a difficulty system that changes the quality of the AI’s moves. PvP has you put up against another player and their squad of three to capture objectives, with both ranked and casual modes for any type of player.
