About Hidden Pass Skirmishes
Master tactical turn-based battles on land and in the air as you out-manoeuvre a plethora of powerful foes.
Multi-layered Combat: Combat in Hidden Pass Skirmishes 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!
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.
Expertise System: Keep your troops alive and they’ll reward you in kind. Each class has unique abilities, giving the opportunity to play differently.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the turn-based tactical gameplay, art style, and variety of character customization options, with difficulty settings that accommodate different skill levels. However, the game feels rough and incomplete, suffering from technical issues like improper startup and closure, lack of basic settings like resolution and key rebinding, slow progression, and poor tutorial explanations that leave systems feeling obscure and inaccessible.
Quick game you play with presets, maybe the finished version will be worth it? Also where do you find the prologue level?3 found this helpful
I could recommend it for fans of turn-based tactics who don't mind some rough edges. The demo is free so give it a go if it looks up your alley. From something similar but more fleshed out, check out Disciples Liberation or Disciples III. +Difficulty options +Voiced intro +Art style +Variety of skills/abilities +Strategy layer, building upgrades +Variety of classes +Choice of subclasses +Choice of stats to improve on level up +Turn-based tactics battles, up to 4 units +Kick can knock enemies off platforms +Free demo -Barebones settings -No resolution options -No key rebinding -Can't upgrade buildings -New runs don't always start properly -Game doesn't always close properly -No subtitles -Very slow to level/gain class points -Lacking tutorial -Some obscure systems -Very restricted hotbar for abilities -Skill use restricted by MP poisoning system -Doesn't spell elyrium/elirium resource consistently -Can't customize character name/appearance -Game strangely turns into visual novel at final section -Awkward building select UI, placements change -Autosave only -Some hidden controls -Lacking tooltips, some unclear icons -No basic attacks, skills only (cause poisoning) -No equipment -So…2 found this helpful

[h3] I'm currently doing a challenge to play through a free game in every single category on steam. I then give an honest review using ChatGPT. [/h3] Game: 122 / 447 [b] Category: Dwarf [/b] "Dwarves Deserve Better" The game is… functional, I guess? But wow, is it boring. You get a whopping 20 characters, all locked into preset teams. No customization, no creativity—just a straight line of meh. Difficulty? Nonexistent. I breezed through without a single close call, which made the whole thing feel like playing chess against yourself and still somehow losing interest. The character models are uninspired, and the UI looks like it got lost on its way to a mobile game from 2012. It’s not broken, but it’s also not exciting. Honestly, if this is the life of a dwarf, I can see why they stay underground.1 found this helpful
