About This Game

Our Doom And Our Savior

Large Language Mercenaries is a roguelite turn-based battler about protecting a fragile caravan with a single, initially very un-capable, AI robot. In a world transformed and devastated by AI, your mercenary fights on their own to protect humanity — while you choose how to progress their class, choose their abilities and targets in combat, and learn how to block at exactly the right moment in real-time to turn an enemy’s deadly attack away harmlessly.

Choose Your Large Language Mercenary

• Sam the Scout — a master of diverse weaponry who specializes in powerful single-target attacks.

• Elon the Envoker — a master of elemental magic: chill, ignite, or shock, then cash it all in with devastating combos.

• Dario the Duelist — a master of martial stances where every parry strikes back.

• Wann the Wainwright — a master of engineering with gadgets, turrets, and munitions to defeat his enemies.

Train, Learn, and Upgrade

Every level-up is a new version of your AI robot. Pick upgrades in training, crack open chests for items with set bonuses, and spend scrap in the Workshop to enhance, assemble, salvage and repair. No two runs build the same.

Choose Your Path

Branching routes through the Random Forest, the Weighted Castle, and the Gradient Descent, with elites, special events, battle curses, and bosses like the "Cannon in D", the "Necrobard Druidmancer", or the dreaded "Slop Amalgam."

Parry Or Die

Time your blocks to shrug off hits — nail the timing to parry, or miss, and risk the whole room hitting your caravan at once. This turn-based battle game has real-time elements inspired by Super Mario RPG and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. 

Keep Learning

Failure is not the end. Bank combat data between runs for permanent upgrades, unlock relics and new mercenaries, and keep learning to climb harder and harder difficulty tiers.
