The player controls a customized character to battle, recruit troops, manage a fief, and explore dungeons.

The game is set in the fictional realm of Salzaar, a region marred by war after the collapse of a great empire with a fantasy blend of pre-modern Turkic, Chinese, Mongolian, and Arabic cultures.

The game has two main modes: story and open-world, and has eight classes: Berserker, Jackal, Knight Errant, Sentinel, Shaman, Spirit Witch, Spiritmancer, and Sultan.

Each squad moves at different speeds and strong emphasis on troops gathering and strategy commanding the player's army.

It drew comparisons to the war strategy RPG series Mount & Blade[5] and the isometric strategy-oriented gameplay of League of Legends,[4][6]
