About our game
Tectonicus: On the Edge of War synthesizes the mechanics of turn-based strategy games based on the history of the Vikings. To succeed, you are to use strategic thinking when placing heroes, commanders, and units on the board, as well as building synergic decks that emphasize each faction’s unique strengths.

Apart from online PvP battles, Tectonicus will be featuring a full-scale story mode. The player will be called to restore history lost in contradicting accounts and theories, and scholars’ disputes, by reincarnating significant battles and living through them as warlords, across centuries.
