Hex Commander: Fantasy Heroes

Hex Commander: Fantasy Heroes is a turn-based strategy game set amid a war between Humans, Orcs, Goblins, Elves, Dwarves and the undead. You build an army and lead heroes and units in battle, using their abilities, terrain and buildings to outmaneuver your opponents. The game includes four single-player campaigns, skirmishes and PvP multiplayer.

Campaigns

The Human campaign follows Percival Kent, an experienced paladin sent by the Emperor to investigate Goblin activity in a Human settlement. With the kingdom on the brink of war, Percival must uncover who wants the conflict to begin and forge an alliance against the expected invasion.

In the Elven campaign, Arcaena, leader of the Elven archers, searches for Sylvius, a wise druid who can tame the forces of nature. Along the way, she faces a powerful Goblin mage and his allies. The Orcs and Goblins campaign follows the search for the cause of unnatural floods that have driven the Orcs from their home. You can control a mighty dragon, Vulpis, a sneaky Goblin who tricks enemies and delivers deadly strikes, and a powerful Orc warrior.

The final chapter takes place in the Dwarven kingdom, where you face previously unseen enemies. Three new playable heroes, each with unique abilities, join the fight against forces threatening to spread across the world.

Armies and tactics

Command infantry, cavalry, mages, siege machines, Elven archers, Dwarven riflemen and other units. Each race has its own balanced units and features, offering different ways to fight. Heroes and units have special skills, while terrain cover and buildings can improve your statistics.

Magic also comes through scrolls used by your heroes. You can summon undead or golems, unleash a rain of fire or a toxic cloud, and awaken your enemies’ rage. Each campaign gives you a castle to expand for your preferred fighting style. Upgrade heroes and chosen units, recruit specialized troops and improve teleports to gain an advantage in battle.

Game modes

The four campaigns each have their own heroes, units and enemies. Single-player skirmishes feature heroes from the campaigns, while PvP multiplayer offers three modes:

• Battle: face opponents in a classic battle mode.
• Capture the Flag: compete to capture the opposing side’s flag.
• Royale: play the game’s Royale mode.
