Bulwark

About

The shrine at the bottom of the river must stand five more turns, and the drowned horrors are climbing the grid to pull it down. Bulwark is turn-based tactics in the Into-the-Breach mould: the enemy shows you exactly what it will do, and then it's your move.

You command three wardens. Bastion shoves what's next to it; Lance spears down a line; Reaver hooks the far thing close. The trick is never the damage — it's the push. Shove a horror into another and they both crumble. Shove one into a chasm and it's simply gone.

Read the telegraphed intents, move, push, and end the turn with the shrine still lit. Hold five turns and descend to a harder grid. The dark is patient. You have until it isn't.

Highlights

• Fully telegraphed enemy intents
• Three wardens: push, spear, hook
