hehe hii!! i will tell you abt armello bc it is extremely fun and a game ive played casually for a while and enjoy

so, the very basic premise is that there are four kingdoms (not really but i’ll explain) there’s the wolves, the rabbits, the bears, and the rats !! each clan sends out a hero, a representative to fight for the crown. the current leader is a corrupt lion, left without a memory of his homeland and sprawled out in the corner of the wood near a farm. at the sight of the poor ruling state the animals that reside in the kingdoms are in, he unites the four groups through wit and a power known as the rot. this magic is just as powerful as it is deadly, and creatures who use too much of its foul power will begin to become twisted and evil

the king has succumbed to his force, and his once benevolent rule along with it. they all fight for the crown of the steadily weakening king, completing tasks along a hex board to gain prestige and powerful weapons and allies. there are four paths to take to victory—and while certain characters excel at certain ones—it is much more rewarding to spin a weaker character into a combat heavy victory, and vice versa.

the fifth clan i mentioned (there’s technically a 6th?? but i play on mobile and do not have access to them LOL) is the bandit clan, a group of rouges with a individual streak of hatred for authority. they’re all my personal favorites!! especially twiss, who is an adorable little squirrel thief. love her. short queen girlboss etc

the fact that this game both has furries with swords and hammers and giant axes, as well as scenarios where the phrase “pop off my liege!” is completely acceptable to use was the dealmaker for me, but there are also little novels that include fun stories about the main, base characters that provide interesting lore and are a fun read. there’s a magic system and a force of good called the wyld, which acts as mother nature itself and through the collection of spirit stones can help you cleanse and kill the king !!

the other ways of beating the game are though prestige victories, a kingslayer victory, or a rot victory. rot is by far the most fun and action packed form of winning, but it has a bittersweet undertone of the cycle of corruption continuing with a new ruler. prestige you can gain from completing quests, slaying other heroes, defeating banes (which are these HUGE crow ass looking things that are the coolest part of the game honestly. fucked up and evil corvid) and if no other hero can slay or cleanse the king while staying alive, this victory is the default. rot and kingslayer victories are won by indulging nail biting dice-based combat w the lion man himself, very thrilling actually !!

each hero has a special quirk that makes them worth playing, and stats to fit their specific playstyle. i love them all a lot (besides river. stupid bow ability) and i think anyone who wants to see if they like it should buy it on the app store! free, but a lot of in app purchases so i would advise you just buy the pc version if you want to continue playing. here’s a bane 10/10 game love making fun little scenarios and drama while i play :]
