Spies & Soldiers Press Kit

Description

A fast-paced game of strategy and subterfuge that will have you locked in a battle of both sword and wits across each new world.

Spies & Soldiers is a low fantasy strategy game with procedural content and simple mechanics, providing a hit of pure strategy gameplay without the overwhelming complexity often associated with the genre.

The game is a two-player, turn-based digital board game, built on simple mechanics that create complex strategies. Each match plays out across a uniquely generated world map, ensuring each game is a fresh challenge.

Seize control of castles and cities as your empire expands across each new world, but keep in mind the balance of power as things can change quickly from one moment to the next!

The core of the game revolves around tense interactions between military strength and stealthy subterfuge. To grow an empire and win, players must carefully balance both aspects of their kingdom and adapt their strategies to each new map.

Key features include:

– Procedurally generated maps.
– Simple mechanics, deep strategy.
– Asynchronous multiplayer.
– Simultaneous turns.

There are two primary systems: military strength and subterfuge. To grow an empire and win, players must carefully balance both elements. Because a fresh map is created for each game, players also need to adapt their strategies to each new world.

Military strength is represented by Soldiers. They are straightforward and effective, relying on strength of numbers, and are used to take control of the castles that are needed to win. Soldiers combine to form armies, and battles are won by the largest army in a region.

Subterfuge is the domain of Spies. They are more complex than Soldiers, dealing with hidden information, surprise and paranoia. Spies are used to take control of cities, which provide the action points needed to power all activities. They can also turn the tide of battle, assassinate other spies, sabotage castle defenses and more. A spy’s effectiveness is determined by its rank, with the most highly ranked spy in a region having the upper hand. Working from the shadows, spies are hidden and can only be seen by an enemy spy of superior rank.
