About This Demo

Step into a world of tactical combat, squad management, and high-fantasy battles in Fangs & Forges. This demo showcases the core gameplay loop - you'll explore two challenging battlefields with various enemies, including day and night versions and a boss encounter for each. Recruit two additional characters to your starting roster, complete a few commissions, and test your strategies against deadly foes. Whether you're battling waves of enemies or facing formidable mini-bosses, every encounter offers a chance to refine your tactics and discover powerful loot.

Master Tactical Combat with Precision & Strategy

In F&F, battles are won through smart ability usage, precise positioning, and perfect timing. Every ability counts - Whether you’re stunning enemies into battlefield edges, blocking movement with burning fields, or chaining abilities together for devastating effects, mastering these elements is the key to victory.

• Leverage Unique Abilities – Every character has distinct skills that can interact or synergize with each other for maximum impact.

• Adapt to Different Fighting Styles – Build a squad with a mix of melee, hybrid, and ranged fighters, utilizing roles like bruisers, assassins, skirmishers, and tanks.

• Inflict & Avoid Deadly Combat Statuses – Effects like grievous wounds, poison, frozen, stunned, or feared can control the battlefield—but enemies can use them against you too.

• Enhance Your Squad with Equipment – Gear up with weapons and armor to boost damage, defense, and survivability, while also modifying special stats such as block chance, life steal, and armor penetration.

• Survive Mini-Boss Fights & Enemy Waves – Stock up on consumables like life potions and ability recharges to endure prolonged battles.

• Customize Character Progression – Unlock skill tree nodes to upgrade base stats such as attack skill, defense skill, and more.

Every encounter is a test of strategy, squad composition, and resource management.
