Pagebleakwatergames.com/dynasty-divided

Short. Rule a warlord's house in 190 AD China. Raise armies, govern cities, court allies and plot against rivals. Every officer has a face, a stat sheet and a memory. Betray one and his brother defects years later. Turn-based grand strategy with tactical hex battles, single player, no microtransactions.

Long. The Han dynasty is dying and twelve warlords stand over the body. Dynasty Divided puts you at the head of one of them, from Cao Cao's small, brilliant court in the centre to Liu Bei's single poor city and three sworn brothers. Seasons are turns. You govern cities, raise and march armies, build markets and walls, and manage a court of forty-eight historical officers who grow with use, age, die, and remember every slight. Armies are visible on the road before they strike, so war is a matter of reading the map rather than rolling dice. When your house fights, you can lead the battle on a hex field before the city walls or leave it to your generals. Diplomacy runs on standing between houses: alliances hold until someone decides they are worth breaking, and the whole realm hears about it when they do.

PlatformWindows (Steam)
PlayersSingle player
ReleaseIn development
Pagebleakwatergames.com/grimfall

Short. Ten-minute runs against a rising horde in a drowned fen, with weapons that evolve and loot that persists between runs: rarities, rolled affixes and legendary powers that change how a weapon works. Equip, reroll at the Forge, go back in deeper.

Press assets for Grimfall will be added when the game is announced. Early builds are available to press on request.
