Polytropos A Tactical Odyssey is an Indie, Turn Based Tactics RPG that feels like an ancient mythological take on HoMM style battles.

HoMM Style Battles:
Just the battles, but yes
You pick your hero, recruit your unit stacks using gold in between events and battles, and fight in out in the turn based battles, through here the action is hex based, not tile based.
Unlike in most of the HoMM series, your hero here is a direct combatant on the field, directly engaging enemy stacks, not just hiding behind your troops, so you directly go forth and beat down enemies personally if you wish.

Also like in the HoMM series, your hero levels up from winning battles.
Here, after each battle, you get 1 stat increase, and pick 1 of three boons, boosting your hero, or their army.
You also unlock new spells in the run, using favor from the gods to cast, a twist from the expected mana system.

Meta Progression:
Unlockable heroes, spells, and upgrades are planned for the full game.
Yay.

Note: This is an early look at the demo for Polytropos A Tactical Odyssey, so any bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Polytropos A Tactical Odyssey is an Indie, Turn Based Tactics RPG that feels like an ancient mythological take on HoMM style battles, and is easily worth a wishlist and a watch.
