Alderun — a fantasy strategy game with hero progression, army management, and castle battles
In Alderun, you pick a hero and lead your army into real-time battles. Control squads, use magical abilities, capture key points, and defend fortresses from enemy troops. Defeat opponents, earn XP and gold, learn new skills, and buy gear. If you like fantasy battles like this, try Age of Heroes.
Heroes, abilities, and army control
Before a battle, choose your character: a paladin, mage, barbarian, hunter, or another hero with their own set of abilities. During the fight, level up skills and buy items that power up your character. Don’t forget about your regular soldiers: even a strong hero needs backup from allies.
In Alderun, you can command individual fighters or whole groups. Send squads to defend choke points, attack fortifications, and capture territory. If you’re into fantasy battles with character progression, check out Raid Heroes: Sword and Magic.
Nine maps and online battles
The game includes nine battle maps with different objectives. On some, you’ll need to defend castles from waves of enemies; on others, capture control points, destroy enemy fortifications, or defeat opponents in the arena.
There are 5v5 team battles and huge 10v10 fights. You can play solo against AI or jump into an online match with other players.
To help you learn the mechanics, there’s a First Patrol tutorial. It helps you get the hang of controls, abilities, items, and the main battle objectives. Unlike simple browser strategy games, Alderun mixes army command with the progression of one main hero.
