📖 About This Game
Godsgloom is a fantasy mass-battle wargame designed for a compact battlefield and rapid, intense gameplay.
In Godsgloom, players assume the roles of demigods, commanding diverse fantasy armies in a brutal struggle for ascension. The game strips away the long hours and massive tables typical of the genre, focusing instead on constant, high-stakes decision-making from the very first turn.
Core gameplay revolves around a streamlined hex-based system where every unit is defined by a clear set of ?Traits—powerful keywords that create deep synergies and tactical puzzles. The tide of battle turns on the timely activation of Gambits—game-altering strategic plays that can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. With a custom dice combat system designed for quick resolution, the focus remains squarely on maneuver, risk assessment, and outwitting your opponent.
Designed to be accessible for newcomers but offering immense strategic depth for competitive veterans, Godsgloomdelivers the epic scale of a fantasy wargame without the epic playtime. Every decision matters, and the battle is always on a knife's edge.
