Buy Polytropos: A Tactical Odyssey PC key

Polytropos: A Tactical Odyssey is a roguelite, turn-based strategy RPG set in the Aegean. Echidna, mother of monsters, has unleashed foes across the realm, and Olympus calls on you to help. You recruit armies, develop your hero’s skills and invoke divine aid as you fight to save the realm and become a legendary hero.

Shape each odyssey

Every playthrough brings randomly generated enemies, events and allies. Your decisions shape the encounters you face and your hero’s development. Heroes gain epithets that grant permanent unique effects, learn godly prophecies that can turn fights in your favor, and earn new boons after each crisis so you can adjust your approach.

Battles reward different strategies: use archers to fight at a distance, send flying units to disrupt enemy formations, hinder foes with prophecies or turn your hero into a one-person army.

Choose a patron

Each patron offers distinct prophecies, units and epithets. Only four patrons are available in each playthrough, creating different combinations. All patrons also have unique synergy effects; for example, having three or more Ares units grants Indomitable, which strengthens all your units when they are attacked.

• Athena: fields strong defensive units and powers that aid allied troops and enable clever strategies.
• Zeus: brings fast, flying allies and powers that deal high damage to enemies or increase allies’ mobility.
• Artemis: commands archers and wild beasts, with nature-oriented powers that heal allies and hinder enemies.
• Ares: leads powerful, offense-oriented forces, with powers that encourage reckless aggression and direct heroism.
• Poseidon: balances mobile and hardy units, and uses large, sweeping prophecies to dominate conflicts.
• Hades: summons vast undead hordes, controls death and brings forth the riches of the Underworld.
