An old school RPG by 68K Studios, created for mobile devices. The action of Mazes of Karradash takes place in the eponymous city, located in a typical fantasy world which is targeted by dark forces.

Strategy, RPG Elements, Fantasy, Indie Games, Internet, Card Games, LAN, Norse Mythology, Multiplayer, Board & Card, RTS, Singleplayer, Tactics, The Vikings.
Wartile is an RTS with elements of card and board games. The game takes place in a dark fantasy world inspired by the Norse mythology. We control a party of vikings on a raid. Gameplay focuses on real-time battles between groups of warriors. Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the key to victory lies in taking advantage of them. Another important gameplay element is the deck of cards built by the players. Those cards will not only power up our warriors, but also activate both offensive and defensive actions. Cards also play an important role in exploration. Battles take place on three-dimensional maps that are divided into hexagonal tiles, and lay of the land, which is an important tactical element that should be taken under consideration when we are preparing our strategy. As a result, Wartile brings to mind a turn-based strategy that somehow takes place in real-time. Along with the story driven campaign Wartile offers a multiplayer mode. The game uses Unreal Engine 4.
