About This Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

The Eighth Squad is a dark fantasy squad-builder where units are living cards. You recruit, train, and craft synergies; they fight automatically in real-time. Meta progression carries over, so every run starts stronger and goes deeper.

BUILD YOUR SQUAD

Recruit fresh units at the tavern, set your formation, and decide where to invest your gold: stat boosts, training, and build-defining upgrades.

CARDS OVER MINIS

Every unit is a clear, readable card (TCG-style). Stats, roles, and progression are visible at a glance. Less visual clutter, more tactical decisions.

GAME-CHANGING SYNERGIES

Combine units to trigger synergies and optimize your comp. The difference between victory and a wipe usually comes down to one smart purchase… or a bad one.

META PROGRESSION

Unlock upgrades that persist between runs to push deeper into the abyss. You’re not starting from scratch: you’re building the Eighth Squad, run after run.

FEATURES

• TCG-style units: clear roles, stats, and progression at a glance

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI was used as an assistive tool during development for (a) translating portions of in-game text (always human-reviewed/edited) and (b) creating or iterating some 2D art assets. All AI-assisted content is curated and may be further edited before shipping. No AI features are present in-game at runtime (no user prompts, no procedural AI generation), and no user data is used for AI training.
