The Storm Guard: Darkness is Coming
The Storm Guard is a challenging turn-based roguelike role-playing game inspired by the Night’s Watch in the Game of Thrones.
You assume the role of the Lord Commander of the Storm Guard leading the order during difficult times. An ancient dragon and its minions have returned, threatening the realm of men. While in your base, you must recruit, train and develop a team of heroes in their quest to restore peace. Make smart decisions during the random events you will run into and battle countless different creatures ranging from mere goblins to huge abominable creatures like wyverns, golems, ogres and worse. On the tactical combat map, put the skills you have learned to the test to defeat powerful opponents.
Your chances in battle not only depend on your tactical decisions but also on your preparation. Assemble well-rounded teams and pick from dozens of different skills to creature unique synergies between your team members that work for you and your preferred playstyle.
- Rich turn-based combat with a wide range of interesting mechanics, including numerous conditions (bleeding, burning, weakened, blind, crippled, …), knockdowns, shouts, buffs, enchantments, and hexes.
- Interesting combat mechanics that allow flanking, tying up, disengaging, and smart combinations of skills.
- Numerous playable hero classes to pick from to add to your team with dozens of unique abilities to specialize in.
- Challenging encounters against close to 40 different creature types each with their own abilities. Ever since the Ancient Dragon returned, Orks, Giants, Undead and Mystic Creatures roam the realm of men causing death and destruction.
- Defeat intelligent monsters that collaborate, heal and buff their allies and have their own strategy on how to put your heroes to the grave.
- Use your gold wisely on the strategy layer to invest into skill development, equipment, consumables or additional heroes.
- Rest in town to recover from injuries that reduce your constitution or gain morale boosts by exceptional performance in battle.
- Classic RPG/roguelike features like permadeath, procedural dungeons, and random events result in high replayability.

Стратегическая часть содрана с темнейшего подземелья, да и все прочее тоже, только бои классические пошаговые на поле . Эльфы (вообще-то, только эльфийки, почти голые и страшные как смертный грех), гномы, орки, гоблины, нежить, рыцари, клерики, маги, ассасины и даже ниндзя(и) - здесь все есть, все в кучу. Выбираем отряд, идем на задание, там движемся вперед по ключевым точкам, где получаем случайное событие, как минимум в 7 случаях из 10 ведущее к бою, иногда боя можно избежать, чаще нет, в остальных 3 случаях случается что-то вроде "вы находите засохшее гoвно гоблина (+4 пищи)" и мы двигаемся дальше.
Бойцы получают уровни, для каждого класса есть большой выбор способностей, так же всех надо одевать, у воинов, например, до черта слотов под шмот, у голых эльфиек всего 3-4, но все это не особо увлекательно, да и денег чтоб одеваться постоянно не хватает. По существу, в игре нет вообще ничего кроме боев, они сделаны неплохо и даже местами сложны, если стараться никого не потерять (а это само собой разумеется), но надоедают довольно быстро. Построение в бою всегда одно и не меняется, поля боя практически все одинаковы и пусты, изредка может стоять колонна,камень или что-то вроде того. Не то, чтоб жалею что купил, но считаю что переплатил втрое,- выглядит и играется именно так, как и должна выглядеть и играться игра, сделанная одним человеком, в свободное от работы время.
Ultimate space commando в тысячу раз лучше. Тоже индюшатина, сделанная одним человеком, пошаговая тактика, отряд 4 бойца и все такое прочее, только сеттинг другой.

Storm Guard: Darkness is Coming is a great turn based role playing game. It is inspired by the Game of Thrones, so welcome to the Dungeons and Dragons.
In this story you will have to protect your people from the Dragon. The storyline is very well written. You will start by choosing 3 heroes from available list each with special abilities. Just like all of these types of games, you will begin in the town where its safe and you can interact with various people, take on the missions and go to battles.
All the battles in the game is turn based and if your hero is low on stamina his abilities will be limited. He will have to stay in town to regenerate. The gameplay its self is very traditional and so as the graphics. I think graphics wise they could have done better with today’s technologies. The game has 3 difficulties to choose from. I would recommend starting on easy because it seemed like even on easy mode the enemies were not that weak.
I think it’s a pretty fun game but it does have pretty steep price for what it is. I would wait for a sale before buying it but its definitely worth a try.
