King's Guard

Summary

You manage a royal guard of eight soldiers, shoving a king through mazes of traps, assassins and angry peasants in turn-based, dice-free combat. Between runs you buy gear, assign badges for specialties like trap detection, root out traitors and uncover each guard's personal story.

• Turn-based tactics with no randomness, described as chess without dice
• Eight guards used as human shields and trap triggers
• Badges, upgrades and traitor identification between escort missions
