Highlands

Highlands is a turn-based strategy game about an exiled people trying to reclaim their homeland from mysterious overlords and their mechanical army. You build an army, manage resources and choose which territories to take or yield as you push the frontlines back toward your home.

The campaign

You manage food, weapons, recruits and other resources to strengthen your army and population. As you advance, you unlock territories and production areas where individual characters can use their skills to improve your position. Your choices determine whether you return to exile or defeat your enemies.

Heroes and classes

Your units are individual heroes, each with special traits, abilities and a story. Four character classes fill different roles:

• Combatants: protect and attack sectors.
• Mechanics: fortify sectors and craft items.
• Leaders: organize the population to gather resources and recruit new heroes.
• Academics: heal troops and help with various tasks.

The game includes an item-crafting system and asymmetric gameplay. Its setting uses hand-drawn environments rather than hex grids, and its battles and resource management focus on decision-making.
