Blades For Hire

What should a man do after losing everything? Family, friends, wealth, the opportunity to inherit a family title. With nothing to lose but his life, he may either humbly accept his plight or grasp with an iron grip any chance for saving, and be prepared to tear his enemies apart with bare hands or even teeth. As our hero, faced with a desperate situation, he refused to let fate have its way and tried everything he could to tip the scales in his favor. Bribery and extortion, threats, violence, murder and arson. The former noble is unconcerned about the honor of the family, so he will use any means to pay the bills and stay alive. Experience the life of a mercenary guild owner, who has little room for selflessness, valor, or heroism. Join him on the journey from pain to triumph or to an ignominious death.

Choices and Consequences

There are many things you can use when working for the Guild: diplomacy, a sense of humor, and the desire and ability to get your hands dirty. The game contains more than 150 unique tasks and events. Choosing one path or another can impact many aspects of the plot: may affect the characters you meet or manage, the Guild's reputation and fame will change, or new opportunities and plot branches will be revealed.

Combat and Tactics

Experience an engaging combat system where battles unfold with indirect control. Participants take turns and select their own targets, but you can adjust each mercenary's tactics at any moment. Master the art of combining fighters and strategies to minimize losses—after all, the dead will not yield profit.

Hero Management

Manage your mercenaries wisely—an unreliable fighter can be worse than a dead one. Loyalty varies based on personality and your decisions. Not all mercenaries will be eager to intimidate the defenseless or rescue the innocent. Your heroes gain experience, improve their stats, and learn new combat skills. Equip them with trophies or purchased gear, but remember: don’t give an expensive sword to a mediocre fighter until they’ve proven their worth.

Economy

Running a Guild is costly. You'll need to manage salaries, equipment, bribes, and church donations carefully. Proper financial management is crucial—late payments can severely damage mercenary loyalty. Initially, you’ll work to build your reputation, but soon, your reputation will work for you. Gaining support from other organizations and influential figures will help secure new contracts and unlock opportunities like faster recovery, better equipment, and additional tasks.
