The dark fantasy strategy game enters the final stage before version 1.0 with new content and improvements
Hanover, Germany, 30th January 2025 – The turn-based, tactical strategy game Shields of Loyalty from Mosaic Mask Studio received an update to version 0.9 on January 29 – with improvements and new content.
On this occasion, Mosaic Mask Studio is also announcing that they are now working with publisher indie.io. Indie.io specialise primarily in working with indie developers.
In Shields of Loyalty players must free the once thriving land of Mantaria from the clutches of the ‘all-devouring void’. Players are in command of a variety of specialised units, which they send into action on a dynamic 2D map inspired by the classics of the genre. Quick strategic decisions must be made to defeat the invaders and restore peace to the troubled nation.
In line with the dark fantasy setting of the game, version 0.9 also introduces the magic system. Each faction has two types of units at its disposal that can cast different spells. Three new spells have been revealed: Bravery gives units +2 movement points, Willpower allows an additional attack or spell and Pain of the Righteous deals 40 Magical Damage.
Players can also enjoy a new playable faction: the Warlords come with 35 unique units and abilities. A mixture of barbarian-like and nature-bound units, their strength lies in infantry and magical units consisting of shamans and spirits of nature.
In addition to the new content, Shields of Loyalty has a new look: a completely revised user interface and new menu navigation give the strategy title a new design. The studio has also improved the game’s performance and fixed bugs.
