If you lose a unit, they are removed from your team for the rest of the run. Once all health is depleted, the unit is dead and removed from the field. Once armor is completely depleted, health will be subtracted at that point. Whenever you or the enemy take damage, the armor is hit first.

There are no healing items to manage your health or your armor outside of spells and skills. The points can be put all towards movement, all towards attacking, or mixing the two different action types together. All units have two action points that they can use. Each unit has up to four different skills that they can use, each with its own cooldown.

From this point, all battles are turn-based, with turns starting based on the speed stat of all units. When you land on certain nodes, there will be times where you’ll be taken into battle. There is no option to revisit or explore other parts of the map, so make sure you plan out your route carefully. Once you’ve reached your destination for a particular section, you’ll be moved onto the next region. Some spots, particularly major story nodes, will always be corrupted while other nodes have a countdown timer letting you know how many turns you have until that spot also becomes corrupted. These monsters are much stronger than the bandits you normally face. Corrupted nodes are points where the Cataclysm has taken over the land and where you’ll need to face fearsome monsters in order to move past. Most nodes are normal, although there are some where you can pick up new heroes, relics, mana, and cores.Īs you travel across the map, you’ll see certain spots that are corrupted. They will also tell you the danger level based on the types of enemies you’ll face in battle. Each node will tell you what you can potentially earn, as well as the type of node it is. You can only travel forward and once you choose to “leave” a node, especially when it comes to larger cities where you’re able to shop and explore, you aren’t able to interact with that node any longer. Once you are set free in The Hand of Merlin, you are able to choose which nodes to navigate to. The steps that you’ll need to complete to unlock characters are available to see, if you’re looking to focus on that at any point. And if you beat the game, you can unlock an upgraded class to use in future runs.

Each hero has their own stats, passive effects, and starting skills.

There are up to 12 characters to select from, nine of which need to be unlocked. You start off the game with three characters: one melee, one ranged, and one magic user.
