Annulus

Annulus is a dark-fantasy tactical strategy game set on the turbulent continent of Novisess. As a mercenary captain, you recruit and train mercenaries, gather weapons and resources, build a legion and lead it into battle. The story follows a struggle for survival, glory and freedom from the fate imposed by the world’s rules.

Mercenaries and formations

Mercenaries have their own traits, and they develop as they level up: their forms, attributes and skills evolve. Some main characters gain new forms shaped by their narrative backgrounds, with more elaborate skill effects and exclusive character auras that affect formation strategy and the strength of your team.

Orcs, Elves and Humans make up the continent’s three major races. You can combine inscriptions, classes and weapon skills to create specialized playstyles, including collision, knockback, tanking and decay. Adapt your unit compositions and skill synergies to the needs of each battlefield.

Tactical battles

Random weather and elemental interactions trigger different combat effects. Terrain, day–night cycles, vegetation and other environmental details directly affect mercenary performance, while the Contamination Value system adds buffs and debuffs that shape your decisions in battle.

Story and exploration

Alongside the main storyline, Annulus features interconnected side tales. Your choices can change the direction of the narrative and may trigger new battle events. The world map has exploration points where you dispatch squads to eerie forests, treacherous mountain passes and other trials, with rare resources to find across the continent.
