Key highlight

A strategy auto-battler where you plan purchases and placement in 60-second rounds, then watch your team fight — solo or in friend-only 1v1 duels.

Who this is for

A solid pick if you want auto-battler decisions with the pressure of a direct friend duel rather than a faceless ladder.

Details

Overview

PACTFORGE is a strategy auto-battler from developer and publisher NoName-Epic, released on November 12, 2026. The pitch is simple and a little ominous: your Phoenix dies, then it rises again. You assemble a team, plan your purchases, decide where each unit stands, and pick focus targets — then the army fights on its own. Reflexes are not the point here. The decisions you make before the clash are what carry the match.

Highlights

Built for both solo play and head-to-head duels, with online PvP lobbies that are visible and joinable only by your Steam friends, invited straight from the friends list.
Each round gives you 60 seconds of preparation, after which both teams fight simultaneously, and matches run for 7, 15, or 21 rounds.
A dark fantasy setting with roguelite and tactical tags, wrapped in a strategy framework where placement and focus targeting matter as much as what you buy.

The duel structure is the heart of it. You and a friend build your teams at the same time, and the battle plays out on both sides at once.

Whoever takes the most rounds wins the match, so a strong opening is not enough — you have to keep adapting as the round count climbs. Choosing between 7, 15, or 21 rounds lets you decide how long a session should run.

Who It's For

This one suits players who enjoy auto-battlers but want the social pressure of a direct duel rather than a faceless ladder. If you like planning purchases and positioning under a tight timer, and you have friends on Steam who enjoy the same, PACTFORGE is aimed squarely at you. Solo players get a single-player route as well, so you can learn the systems before challenging anyone.
