DAY
Rivengard
Fantasy Tactical Battle RPG
Elves, goblins, wizards and... mice? Rivengard hosts all sorts of mighty fighters in its tense tactical battles.
How it plays: Guide heroes like hammer-wielding holy knight Sigrid and nimble mage Thana Moh through tricky fights that require more brains than brawn. You control where you move, who you attack and when to unleash devastatingly powerful special abilities, such as Areus’ awesome chain lightning.
Why we love it: Rivengard’s variety of enemies and heroes sparks experimentation and exploration. Unleash a ranged attack or heal first? Slash through the thorns blocking your path, or wait for foes to come to you? Each victory feels like a triumph of wits.
Don’t miss: Looking for an edge? Terrain matters. Take the high ground to deal more damage, hide in bushes for extra defense and head to healing tiles if the situation looks grim.
Meet the creator: Swedish developer Snowprint Studios AB also crafted the popular strategy game Legend of Solgard.
