About This Game

Kill the Thing is a turn-based tactical RPG taking place in a fantasy world. Help Jill Holloway search for the source of the corruption and uncover its secrets.

Slay corrupted monsters, vanquish bosses, or, if you have no other choice, purge whole areas (shrinking your available mission pool) to keep the corruption at bay. Otherwise, your journey will end prematurely.

           

Master tactical combat with dozens of status effects, precision attacks, positioning, conditional boosts, force movement, and permadeath. Defeat powerful and strategic enemies unique to each region.

The decisions you make before combat can be just as important as the ones on the battlefield. Weigh risk, reward, time, and your available party members carefully. Target key resources, discover enchantments, and rescue artisans to build up your party and base.

Hire from twelve distinct classes including Paladin, Samurai, Duelist, Praetorian, Elementalist, Terramancer among many others. Each brings distinct abilities and playstyle to your party. Assemble your team wisely for the challenges of each region and mission.
