How it feels

A methodical, lore-steeped strategy game where commanding armies with magic and runes feels deliberate and tactical.

What players say

Players who love Glorantha find the setting faithful, but many are let down by clunky controls, stupid enemy AI, and terrible voice acting. The campaign has uneven pacing with some absurd difficulty spikes, and bugs remain unpatched. It is often compared to Battlesector but with a fantasy theme.
