Hoplite is a turn-based rouge-like strategy game. You play as a knight who moves his way though a hexagonal board defeating monsters and gaining upgrades to try and complete certain objectives/achievements.
Aside from moving a single hex the game features 3 abilities:
- Bash = Push a unit or bomb away from you
- Leap = Jump towards a hex
- Throw = Range attack which sacrifices your weapon
Each of the enemies are different and the tooltips are easy to understand. The game can be very punishing as 1 wrong move or failure to plan ahead could kill you, forcing you to start from level 1 again. Because of it's randomly generated maps, the game has plenty of re-playability and the rewards you get from completing achievements (some are quite hard) are a nice addition too.
If you like a challenge and you like to take your time to think about your moves in strategy type games then I'd highly recommend this game.
