Control a single character directly in this real-time strategy game fused with roguelike elements. Issue verbal commands to followers while managing inventory, equipment, and personal combat. Players build structures and advance tech trees through hands-on involvement rather than distant oversight.
This indie title blends dungeon crawler action with RTS oversight in real time. Fighters dive into battles alongside their groups, handling gear and directives up close. It draws in strategy fans who crave roguelike control and direct participation.
What is in the "Way of Gold and Steel" which makes it interesting?
Main reason is the unusual gameplay style — combination of a real-time strategy (RTS) and a roguelike. As you know, in a typical RTS you issue global orders — basically what should be built and how to advance through the technology trees. It is different here. You control your character like you normally would do in a roguelike. Also you issue orders to your followers verbally, participate in fights, you have inventory and equipment. As a result we've got a mix of genres: real-time strategy and a dungeon crawler, two in one.
