Valiant Tactics is a tactical turn-based roguelite RPG set in a medieval fantasy world where a usurper has murdered the king and seized the throne. Players embody a loyal knight, assembling a squad of up to five fearless heroes to restore the rightful heir. The game eliminates hit chance RNG, ensuring every attack lands, shifting focus to strategic ability management, cooldown timing, and positioning on hex-grid battlefields. With eight unique characters—each boasting distinct playstyles and abilities—players face nine enemy factions, from stealthy bandits to necromancers’ undead hordes and pack-hunting Shoghal, across 10 epic boss fights.
Gameplay emphasizes adaptability, with dynamic weather and terrain altering battles, demanding tactical shifts to exploit enemy weaknesses. Over 120 weapons and equipment pieces, from rugged gear to legendary artifacts, offer unique effects, while 30 masteries and talents allow deep build customization for synergistic team compositions. A branching campaign map, inspired by Battle Brothers, shuffles nodes for battles, 40 dynamic events, merchants, and rest sites, where choices impact resources, health, and run outcomes, enhancing replayability across 10 difficulty levels.
Between encounters, a camp menu lets players swap reserve heroes, tweak talents, and manage gear, with no permanent power creep—progress resets per run, but new classes, relics, and cosmetics unlock. Defeat provides feedback via a damage timeline, highlighting missed synergies or critical turns. The game’s 2D art, pre-rendered with AI, complements its gritty fantasy aesthetic and immersive soundtrack. With its focus on meaningful decisions, diverse tactical scenarios, and challenging yet fair combat, Valiant Tactics delivers a compelling, replayable experience for fans of strategic RPGs and roguelites.
