• Local co-op: Key features say you can play solo or pass and play with friends, locally or through Steam Remote Play Together.
• Most players online: The base game lets you control one to four Spirits. The maker says six players need the Jagged Earth expansion, so six is the cap with it.
• Crossplay: Key features list online multiplayer across platforms, and Steam shows its cross-platform category.
• About: Nature spirits with magic fight colonizers on an island. Nothing in our theme list fits closely, so fantasy adventure is the nearest.
• Kind of game: A digital copy of a tabletop game. User tags include Board Game and Tabletop.
• Sessions: The page lists over 78,000 possible setups. One game is a self-contained scenario that you set up again each time.
• Fighting: User tags include Destruction and Turn-Based Tactics. You use your powers to drive the settlers out, but it is area control on a map and not fight scenes.
• Planning ahead: User tags include Strategy, Grand Strategy and Turn-Based Tactics.
• Story: The page sets the game in an alternate world around the year 1700. That is a setting and not a story you follow.
