<Tainted Land> is a 2D turn-based tactical RPG inspired by classic RPGs.

The rugged mountainous region at the northeastern edge of the civilized world has long been known as the 'Forbidden Land.' Holding the eerie secrets of the ancient Dark Ages, this land was once a forbidden sanctuary for guardians known as the 'Avatars,' but it has now become a land roamed by adventurers and grave robbers.

You are a wanderer tainted by a rare curse who has crawled into this deadly wasteland in search of a cure. However, surviving alone in this treacherous land is impossible. Only those who have forged their formations with blood, iron, and ruthless tactics can endure this terrible expedition.

Gather survivors from the bottom who are willing to lay down their lives to form your own strike force. You must traverse unknown territories sealed by aliens, confront hideously twisted monsters, and unearth ominous artifacts slumbering beneath strange ruins.

And finally, face head-on the truth of the dark fate lurking beneath this contaminated land.

Long ago, the hands of foreign media reached this land and contaminated everything. As the guardians who have watched over this place since ancient times fell and malevolent stars aligned, impure beings that had been hiding in the dark corners of the world began to crawl back out into the world.

Explore a dark fantasy world and engage in bloody tactical battles against Lovecraftian monstrosities. Uncover chilling events and seize ancient treasures and dark secrets.

You can never cross this forbidden zone, filled with monstrosities and madness, alive on your own. To break through this mire, you must find and recruit companions who are highly skilled but carry deep wounds and flaws.

However, keep in mind that you should not expect romantic camaraderie from these worn-out survivors. Your companions will constantly clash and interfere with your decisions at every moment of choice, pushing their own twisted beliefs.

<Tainted Land> follows the journey of the 'Contaminated One,' a man ruined by being unwillingly chosen by the Foreign Press, but it is up to you to shape the process and the ending. The decisions you make amidst events large and small gradually mold him into a different being, ultimately leading to a completely different conclusion.

The weight of choice is imposed without exception, even in the midst of the battlefield. Will you risk your life to rescue the maiden captured by the enemy, or stand by for the sake of victory? Depending on the decision you make in battle, the world and your comrades will greet you with completely different faces.

The battlefield of <Tainted Lands> is driven by meticulous calculation and bloodshed. Divide your action points on a hexagonal tile-based battlefield to craft the most lethal moves. Block enemy movement with Zones of Control (ZoC) and exploit weaknesses with Reactions to control the bloody front lines. Weave together unit types and factions with distinct characteristics to squeeze out the optimal combination to bring down the monstrosities.
