About This Game

Eldritch Tactics: Lichtmond is a turn-based tabletop strategy game based on the German epic: The Song of the Nibelungs, set in an afterworld that devours the souls of the fallen.

Fight with your army of knights and choose between harnessing the power of light or darkness to strengthen your heroes and subjugate your enemies.

Light and dark

Decide how to approach the fight against your enemies: Wield the power of darkness and execute devastating attacks, pushing your fighters to the brink of insanity and putting them at risk of being completely corrupted by the very beast you wish to slay.

Or trust in the safety of light-based magic to heal your wounded and cleanse their minds, allowing the enemies to prevail and cause more damage - to the world and your allies alike. Analyze each turn and strike a balance to effectively clear each map and keep your party safe and sound.

The veil

Devise your path through a series of battles which are periodically affected by the Veil, a magical world state that strengthens dark magic and unlocks additional abilities. Your battle strategy and selected actions will affect your allies' affinity towards light or darkness and influence the state of the world. A fighter who exploits the dark magic of the Anderswelt will be stronger but more susceptible to losing their mind, a risky gamble since the creatures of the Anderswelt will try to assimilate every knight into their own ranks as soon as the Veil takes effect.

Overtake the enemy

As your allies give in to the dark magic of the Anderswelt and risk being corrupted, they also gain the ability to take command of enemy ghouls.

Use those doomed souls to bolster your ranks and shield your weaker units.

Enemy knights will fight for you until their health is depleted.

The aftermath of a family feud

After years of scheming, the newly anointed queen of the Huns, Kriemhild, invites her estranged family to her residence to avenge the assassination of her former husband by the hands of their allies. The ensuing bloodbath leaves nearly all parties dead, including Kriemhild as well as her infant son.

Shortly after, Kriemhild comes to in the Anderswelt, a purgatorial realm that feeds on ignoble warriors' souls. While fending off hordes of mythical creatures and the husks of fallen knights, Kriemhild comes across old friends and foes, hoping to soon reunite with her child before they are all consumed by the corruption of the Anderswelt.
