Grand Arms: March of the Red Dragon

Grand Arms: March of the Red Dragon is a spiritual successor to the classic Ogre Battle series, combining real-time, squad-based tactics gameplay with turn-based RPG combat. Move units across the map in real time to capture towns and castles; when enemy units come in contact, a turn-based battle ensues, with the defeated side forced to give up ground.

Organize soldiers with unique appearance, stats and classes into units. Choose from dozens of classes, and customize your unit's formation to maximize each soldier's effectiveness, taking advantage of position-specific abilities, damage types and resistances, and support abilities which can be used to help nearby units when they enter combat.

Explore dozens of unique regions depicted in lush, hand-painted graphics. Destroy your opponents and capture their territories to win. Choose where to stand your ground - fighting from the right terrain can give you the advantage you need, and traversing difficult terrain can build up fatigue that will reduce your units' effectiveness.

When your unit comes in contact with the enemy, a turn-based battle ensues. Battles play out automatically; characters act in initiative order, and their actions are determined by their class, formation, and enemy positioning. Archers will rain down destruction on enemies from the rear, but if they lose their cover, they're defenseless. Swordsmen will attack from the front row and must hit the enemy's front row first; from the rear, they'll do nothing. Bleddyn the bard will bravely wield his rapier from the front, or play a song to buff the entire squad from the back.

The side that deals the most morale damage - by hitting hard, taking down units, or weakening the enemy commander - is the winner, with the other side losing ground on the map.

Years ago, the scattered kingdoms of the Britons were nearly united by one of history's greatest princes, Llewelyn the Great, in fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. Llewelyn was the greatest ruler the land had seen since King Arthur. But when he reached the apex of his power, he died, leaving behind a messy succession crisis. And in the chaos, England invaded, leading to a loss of nearly all Llewelyn had won.
