About the game
You lead a party through Nortander after war and a spreading plague have unsettled its kingdoms. Conversations, side quests and equipment choices sit alongside battles fought in real time. Some missions give you workers, buildings and an army to manage. You capture sectors for resources, recruit troops and use your heroes' spells to support them. Between fights, you explore maps and develop your party's skills.
Friends can play the campaign together online and share control of a faction. Managing heroes and an expanding army gives the group different things to watch at once. Reforced also includes separate cooperative missions and an Arena mode built around enemy waves. The campaign suits a group that wants a continuing fantasy story with regular tactical fights and character upgrades.
