Game Overview
Welcome to Anteria, a magical kingdom that’d be rather delightful if it wasn’t enslaved by a bloodthirsty horde of enemy factions that have more evil tricks than you can imagine.
This epic real-time strategy extravaganza invites you to unleash the powers of five Champions to conquer the bad guys, reclaim the kingdom, and make it back home in time for dinner.
Immerse yourself in a vast & magical world filled with fearsome monsters, lethal bosses, and unpredictable environments that challenge you to adjust your combat tactics on the fly. Command five Champions, each infused with elemental powers of Fire, Water, Nature, Lightning, or Metal. But victory will require more than brute force; it will demand clever strategies, lightning-fast tactics, and an ability to deliver punishments strong enough to make a grown monster cry.

Key Features
• Plunge into pulse-quickening combat – Your enemies may grunt unintelligibly, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid. Defeating these beasts will require thoughtful strategies, clever tactics, and the right combination of three Champions out of the 5. Choose well, and the combined strength of your Champions’ elemental powers will carve through your enemies like a hot sword through molten lava. Choose poorly, and you’ll be monster chow. At any time, you can pause the game, switch up your tactics, and rejoin the melee without missing a beat.
• Conquer a dazzling world – From parched deserts to mysterious forests, from frozen snowfields to tropical jungles, the lethally-beautiful world of Anteria invites you to blaze your own path to victory. Choose who, when, and where you’ll attack or defend on a Progression Map. Just remember that your decisions directly affect the world around you, and every action has a consequence.
• Prove yourself in stunning boss battles – They’re big, they’re nasty, and they’re hoping to mince your Champions into bite-sized bits. They’re the bosses of Anteria, and you’ll need sound strategies and lightning-fast combat moves to bring them down. Change your tactics on the fly, avoid the bosses’ lethal traps, and deliver a smackdown worthy of the ages.
• Create the ultimate warriors – After each mission, return to your stronghold to develop your city to craft potions, armor, weapons, and other lethal tools to make your Champions stronger — and make life even more miserable for your enemies.
• Rescue a war-torn world – As you progress through Anteria, you’ll discover a narrative of a beautiful land brought to its knees by years of constant strife among battling clans. But as your heroes strive to bring peace to this magical realm, they must confront a malevolent wizard and his undead army. Neither of whom are known for being particularly peaceful.
