Zemeroth is a minimalistic 2D turn-based hexagonal tactical game written in Rust.

You can try the current version:

• online on itch.io
• or by downloading precompiled binaries from GitHub.

The current version (v0.5, 2019.05.13) looks like this:











Zemeroth is based on ggez and good-web-game game engines.

The project is completely open source (MIT/Apache): https://github.com/ozkriff/zemeroth

The project is still in early stages of development, but the vision is:

- Random-based skirmish-level digital tabletop game;
- Single player only;
- 3-6 fighters under the player’s control;
- Short game session (under an hour) and small unscrollable maps;
- Simple vector 2d graphics with just 3-5 sprites per unit;
- Reaction attacks and action’s interruption;
- Highly dynamic (lots of small unit moves as a side effect of other events);
- Intentionally stupid and predictable AI;

Roadmap.

Inspirations: Into the Breach, Banner Saga (Survival Mode), Hoplite, Auro, ENYO, Minos Strategos, Battle Brothers.
