Simple premise, but well executed. Highly suggest if you are looking for a tactical combat game that is (somewhat) easy to put down.

This is a hidden gem among rogue-lites. Good progression and challenging but fair difficulty curve. Lovingly crafted Arthurian aesthetics and writing. Great, rewarding grid-based tactical combat.

The Hand of Merlin executes well on it's turn-based strategy gameplay and I think it succeeds in being engaging, but not cumbersome, despite it's longer runs compared to most roguelike games. For a more in depth review, check out my video below! https://youtu.be/XO-ZjPTeXUQ
