Overview

Way of Gold and Steel is an indie strategy game developed and published by Sergey Bobrov, released on August 17, 2015. It boldly blends the strategic depth of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) with the unpredictable challenge of a roguelike.

Highlights

  • Genre Fusion: Experience a unique mix of RTS and roguelike dungeon crawling, offering a fresh take on both genres.
  • Character Control: Unlike traditional RTS games where you issue global commands, here you directly control your character, much like in a roguelike.
  • Verbal Orders & Combat: Issue commands to your followers verbally, engage in direct combat, and manage your character's inventory and equipment.

Who It's For

This game is for players who enjoy strategic thinking but are also looking for a more personal, character-driven experience. Fans of roguelikes who want to experiment with commanding units in real-time, or RTS players seeking a novel challenge with permadeath elements, will find something to love here. Its pixel graphics and single-player focus also appeal to a niche audience.
