## About This Game
## HAMMERHEART
Punishing, strategic and with a heavy focus on authenticity, Hammerheart is a
hardcore roguelike set in the viking age that combines directional medieval
combat with party customization and strategy mechanics.
## HARDCORE ELEMENTS
Death is forever. Should you die in battle, all of your loot and companions
will be lost, and you’ll start again at square one. Maps, encounters and loot
are randomly generated, and mechanical variety in the weapons helps to ensure
that the experience is different every time you play.
## HISTORICAL AUTHENTICITY
It is the early 10th century. By this time, the Vikings have grown from small
raiding parties to huge armies with the power to conquer and extort ransom
from kingdoms. Hammerheart throws you into the life of an Anglo-Saxon
commander tasked with leading a force into the chaos of battle against these
foes. The characters, weapons and settings were crafted with an eye for
historical accuracy much lacking in today’s popular media.
## COMMAND AND FIGHT
In Hammerheart, your life matters. You are an individual on the battlefield
who can fight and die. Timing and precision are paramount to coming out of an
engagement on top. However, you are not alone. Command and position your
companions carefully, and fight alongside them to gain a strategic victory
over your opponents. It is your responsibility to treat injuries and
distribute equipment to give the members of your party the best chance of
survival.
