Platform(s): DOS.

Genre: Real-time strategy game/army builder with a fantasy style.

Estimated year of release: Early 1990s.

Graphics/art style: Top-down pixel art sprites. Levels are predominantly 2D.

Notable characters: None. I'm not sure there were any names at all. Individual soldiers in your army had randomly generated names.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

• You start with a small crew of fighters and archers. Killing enemies earns the individual characters XP and gold, which allows you to purchase additional units.

• Levels often had treasure and power ups. There were typically multiple branching paths you could take. Potions were the most common powerup.

• Each level's map opened with a sort of loose story explaining what your army had been doing and the scenario that was about to unfold in the form of a journal entry. There were many paths to explore in the story.

• In between levels you could spend resources to level up characters, which unlocked new abilities at certain tiers and what gave them more resilience.

• The game was on a "100 best games compilation"-type CD. I got the sense that it might have been unfinished, but I never beat it.
