Lamia Must Die

Lamia Must Die is a strategy-focused battle game in which a party of heroes confronts Lamia, a monster that has terrorized the town of Clearmill for years. A paladin leads the group to the cave where Lamia lives, as the town’s last hope of avoiding destruction.

The party

You choose from four heroes: two paladins, a mage and an archer. Bishop and Rogue also join the quest to defeat Lamia.

• Eric: a sturdy paladin who uses a sword and shield to withstand powerful blows, though his heavy armor slows him down.
• Janet: a nimble paladin who fights with a spear and delivers strong attacks, but has weaker defenses.
• Ursula: a mage whose spells can hinder several foes at once.
• Vivian: an archer who uses a bow to hit a single target with great power.

The battle

The game includes an opening, a battle against Lamia and an ending that depends on which heroes survive. If all four survive, you see a special ending. The battle calls for strategy and has a difficulty ranging from medium-hard to hard, depending on your familiarity with RPG mechanics.
