About the Product

Shields of Loyalty is a dark fantasy turn-based strategy game that serves as a modern love letter to 90s classics like Fantasy General and Heroes of Might and Magic. Developed by Mosaic Mask Studio, this game allows you to acquire command of a diverse army on the war-torn island world of Mantaria. You must lead your forces through procedurally influenced landscapes, utilizing a deep hex-grid tactical system to obtain victory over an unholy undead brood. With a focus on unit progression and squad management, it is the ultimate choice for strategists who want to unlock the feeling of classic tactical gaming enriched with modern visual effects and refined mechanics.

Key Features Defining Tactical Dominance

Choose Your Legendary Commander

Unlock three distinct avatars—Aglovan the Noble, Warlord Karnoth, or Sargon I—each offering a unique campaign perspective. Every commander brings specific auras and skills to the table, allowing you to acquire a specialized playstyle, from swift cavalry charges to overwhelming brute force or dark summoner magic.

Unit Training & Squad Management

Your soldiers aren't just fodder. You can obtain the ability to train your units up to two times, transforming them from basic recruits into elite veterans. Use the "Squad" system to combine units into larger, more resilient groups, allowing you to get the most out of your army's strength against powerful bosses.

Dynamic Biomes & Environmental Hazards

Battle across three massive, distinct biomes: the swampy Darkwoods, the lethal Eternal Ice, and the scorched Lava Desert. You must unlock new survival strategies to navigate randomly generated environmental effects like lightning storms and meteor strikes that can obtain a sudden shift in the tide of war for both you and your enemies.

Harness the Heroes of Old

Discover and free the "Heroes of the Old Wars" scattered throughout Mantaria. By rescuing these legends, you acquire their powerful ancient auras and specialized abilities, which are essential to unlock success in the game's increasingly difficult late-stage missions.

Strategic Formations & Terrain Use

Master the hex-grid by placing your troops in specific formations. Utilizing forests for cover or high ground for vision allows you to get a tactical edge over numerically superior foes. It is the ultimate test of your ability to obtain high-value trades in every turn-based encounter.
