About Hidden Pass
Master tactical turn-based battles on land and in the air as you out-manoeuvre a plethora of powerful foes.
Your ultimate goal in Hidden Pass is to reach the centre of the Elyrium Belt by any means necessary. Prepare for your expedition at the Wanderer's Tower, your customizable stronghold, and set out on expeditions against warped magical monsters and rival, covetous factions.
Wanderer's Tower: Your powerful mobile fortress and home-away-from-home. A flying base where you produce fresh units, upgrade their gear and research new technologies. Your tower can also move between clusters of islands, giving it access to ever-shifting resource pools.
Automatons: Not all of your units are flesh and blood. Your home base’s Factory can manufacture powerful Elyrium-fueled automatons with unique abilities and strengths.
Multi-layered Combat: Combat in Hidden Pass takes place across three map layers, each presenting their own tactical challenges, although flying units are free to move between them and outflank more limited fighters.
Elyrium Madness: Magic is your most powerful weapon, and potentially your undoing. Every ability used brings you closer to the brink, the power of Elyrium slowly driving your units mad. There's a potential method to this madness, though - the further you push to the edge, the more powerful your abilities become.
Passing the Baton: Field your four best and brightest units in each battle, but plan for attrition. Casualties can be swiftly replaced mid-battle with reserve units from your Tower - don’t accept defeat!
Expertise System: Keep your troops alive and they’ll reward you in kind. Level up your troops to unlock powerful new abilities that might just turn the tide of your next battle.

A hard one to review for me. I liked the concept (though I am getting a little tired by now of roguelike elements showing up in every game), but the almost complete lack of any decent explanation of some of the game mechanics really hurts it. That aside, I am very puzzled by the alleged base development components, which I can find no way to actually access even in the full game (as opposed to the Prologue). If I'm understanding correctly what I read in the forums, those elements only are available in between runs - which seem to consist of 21 battles (or however many short of that it takes you to lose). So in terms of keeping my interest, that element basically doesn't exist and I'm stuck playing with the intial squad of 2, since there's no way to increase the number of slots in the garrison. So I'm probably not going to spend any more time on it.1 found this helpful
i feel like this is pretty rough to start. not a lot of things explained. my first run i lost 2 of my heroes very fast and found i couldn't buy anymore so pretty much i was done. as someone mentioned each time you use the ability it hits you harder. just bad mechanics in my opinion. i can not recommend this. it had potential just not for me
Hidden Pass is a fun roguelike tactical game with light RPG elements. While its combat and gameplay are enjoyable, the interface and tutorial definitely leave room for improvement. Still, as I wait for Menace to come out, I’ll probably spend a few more hours playing this one. Video: https://youtu.be/72pQjU-11NQ
A different take on the XCOM format!
Lots to love with this game. It requires strategic management of your units; if you pick complimentary class combinations, your runs will go a lot smoother. It's so satisfying to punt enemies off high ledges, just make sure you don't get punted in return! I haven't seen a lot of variety yet, but I've only played through chapter 1 so we'll see what the rest of the game holds. It has the potential to be something amazing, I hope the dev sticks with it!
