A quick turn-based dark fantasy strategy game.
Start off with a Hero, build new armies, and defend your castles as you strategically conquer your enemy's castles.

Unearth the Darkness. Command the Light.



Telestians thrusts you into an unforgiving, fantastical realm where strategy is not just an option—it's survival. Choose from a myriad of distinct factions, each with its own unique attributes and units, and prepare for a game of intricate strategy and dark enchantments.

Whether you're navigating through forests with the Elves' unmatched agility, marching relentlessly with the Undead, or plundering with the Barbarians, your choices will echo through eternity.

Embark on Legendary Journeys



Begin your conquest with a single Hero, a force to be reckoned with, poised to shape destiny. Your Hero isn't just a figurehead but the cornerstone of your burgeoning realm. Gain reputation by vanquishing foes, capturing fortresses, and fulfilling divine quests. As your reputation and level increases, other allies and troops will rally to your cause, each bringing unique capabilities to tip the scales in your favor.

I'm comparing this directly to the Warlords series of games which obviously inspired it. The Good: 1. More challenging than the Warlords games that inspired it 2. AI is aggressive and seems reasonably competent a few hours in 3. Didn't notice any bugs 4. Unique UI art for each race is a nice touch 5. Random events/wandering monsters are a good addition The Bad: 1. UI notably worse than the originals. Units automatically stack with one another with no sub-stacking and separating stacks afterward requires a lot of clicking 2. UI: No quick way to tell which castles are producing units and which are not 3. No vectoring; all newly produced units need to be moved by hand, and due to the issue in #1 this causes frequent traffic jams. The maps are also huge and this gets tedious fast. 4. UI: Effects that apply to stacks are not shown anywhere. Can your stack fly? Does it have movement bonuses in a certain terrain? Is it receiving bonuses from other units in the stack? No way to tell. 5. Heroes are less interesting than in Warlords. Magic items are rare, limited in effect, and there are only a few slots to use them. Items you can't use can't be transported, but instead have to b…

If you are an old fart like me, and have ever played warlords on the amiga. this is a revived version with quests and allies and so, so much one more turn it's silly.

A throwback to the DOS game Warlords II. Definitely more for nostalgia, or for fans curious of the 90s era of strategy games.

Awesome TBS wargame! It definitely has that good ole Warlords vibe ... Recommended, optional soundtrack to listen to while playing the Barb faction: Basil Konstatine Poledouris´ "Conan The Barbarian".

Ever read the reviews for a game and you think to yourself, 'Did they play the same game I did?' That's how I feel about Telestians. The game was shallow and simple and lacking in strategic depth. If it created a mood, that mood was boredom. Although tagged as turn based, the game is "turn based" only in the sense that you have to hit an "end of turn" button after you move all your units. Battles are automatic. Bump into an enemy and the armies go at it until one of you is dead. Auto-battlers aren't fun for me, but if the kingdom and fortress management is engaging then it's not a deal breaker. As far as I could tell in the time played - which in fairness to the game, was short - there wasn't any kingdom management or tactical depth at all. Bump into a fortress and auto battle it, if you win, you choose whether to raze it or capture it. If you capture it, you can conscript more units to bump into more fortresses. Maybe if I played longer the game would have revealed itself to be wonderfully tactical and strategic, but I don't think so. Proceed at your own peril. Purchase this game, play it. Hear the lamentations of gamers.
