About Stuck in a Trench

YOU ARE NOT THE SOLDIER. YOU ARE NOT EVEN THE GENERAL.
YOU ARE THE HIGH COMMAND.From the quiet of the War Room you shape a nation's fate. Appoint generals, fund perishable heroes, and send soldiers into procedurally generated trench networks where every choice matters. When a general falls, their failure becomes your institutional advantage: Lessons of War are awarded at campaign end and spent on a persistent tech tree that changes how every future campaign plays.Stuck in a Trench is a roguelite autobattler, where you act as the High Command: appoint generals, learn from battlefield outcomes, and turn those hard-earned lessons into institutional upgrades. Each completed campaign grants persistent "Lessons of War" used to unlock technologies, tactics, and doctrines that reshape every future front.Key features
  • Triple-layer gameplay: High Command (meta), General (campaign), Soldier (tactical runs).
