About This Game

This witty, wacky, turn-based strategy game is now available for Steam. In Highborn, you’re treated to a strategy game that offers an intelligent, tactical experience without the frenetic play of a traditional RTS. Move your forces around an overhead map to secure spells and combat support, then dive into combat to deploy those advantages against an unsuspecting enemy. All the fun and fighting is set against an irreverent tale, filled with wacky heroes, witty dialogue and wild assumptions.

Key Features:

A New Strategy: A unique blend of strategic movement and combat caters to a variety of gameplay styles and offers lots of replayability.
Many Styles of Play: Unlock hero characters for access to different abilities, play styles, and strategies.
Achieve Greatness: More than 20 achievements to unlock, including judicious use of turns, using units as bait, and making it through an entire mission without capturing support structures.

All in all, this game is like that one-night stand you didn’t expect to enjoy but now you’re wondering if you should text them back. It’s short, easy to play, and pretty damn fun your first time through. But, like most one-night stands, the replay value isn’t great — unless you’re into the hardcore stuff, like chasing down those brutal achievements that’ll make you question your life choices and maybe your sanity. Controls? Simple. Which is nice, because my thumbs get bored easily. There’s not a spellbook the size of “War and Peace” here, so you won’t be juggling 37 abilities while wondering which button makes the magic death happen. Sound effects? Yeah… some of them will make you want to commit murder. Looking at you, Floyd. I don’t know who Floyd is, but I want him gone. Like… “John Wick levels of gone.” AI issues? Oh yeah. Sometimes they hide in trees like discount Rambo or get confused about who they’re trying to stab. But honestly, it’s easy ...
