Dans Highlands, la stratégie au tour par tour exige des décisions incisives : des leaders exilés y assemblent des armées pour reprendre leur terre natale aux mystérieux seigneurs et à leurs ennemis mécaniques. Les joueurs gèrent nourriture, armes, recrues et ressources afin de se renforcer, conquérir des secteurs, repousser les lignes de front et débloquer de nouveaux territoires. Des héros uniques, dotés de traits, d'aptitudes et d'histoires personnelles, animent un gameplay asymétrique réparti en quatre classes : les combattants pour l'attaque et la défense, les mécaniciens pour la fortification et l'artisanat, les leaders pour le rassemblement et le recrutement, et les académiciens pour la guérison et les tâches.
Ce RPG indie mêle gestion de ressources, création d'objets et progression narrative dans des environnements dessinés à la main. Facile à prendre en main mais redoutable à maîtriser, il séduira les amateurs de stratégie friands de construction d'armées réfléchie et de conquêtes territoriales sur PC.
Highlands is a unique turn-based strategic experience where players choices and decision-making will determine whether they return to exile or march victoriously to crush their enemies.
Exiled from their homeland and faced against overwhelming odds of defeat, players in Highlands are tasked to build an army and retake what is rightfully theirs from a group of mysterious overlords and their mechanical army. These noble leaders will manage key aspects of their army and population including food, weapons, recruits and other resources to get stronger and advance in the game.
As they march on, they will unlock new territories and production areas where individual characters will be able to use their skills to strengthen their position. Choose wisely on which sectors to conquer and relinquish to the enemy in order to push new frontlines and find your way back to power.
