Vanguard Exiles

Following the cataclysm that was the Day of Ash, the exiled people of each of the world's factions were thrust into a war-torn realm. With survival hinging on putting differences aside, Generals like you came forward to band exiles together to form Vanguards; and lead them into battle to reclaim the broken world before them. In Vanguard Exiles, each Unit has its own identity, with its own distinctive look and a unique array of traits and abilities. To further this, each Squad has its own makeup, consisting of different combinations of Units and Actions. Combat happens automatically, but as mentioned earlier, this is no typical auto-battler. Strategy is key, and you'll have to play smart, making tough tactical decisions to ensure your victory.

Vanguard Exiles offers an immense ruleset of complex mechanics, all happening under the hood, aiming to teach players the nuances of gameplay rather than intimidate them. After each round, you're even able to see what your chances of victory were. Did you play smart and get unlucky? Or play poorly but nab victory purely by chance? Every game teaches you something new, offering unprecedented room to hone your strategy against other players, who are likely refining their own personal playstyles. The possibilities are endless!
