About ACORN: Seed of Resistance
Your order swore to protect the realm. Betrayed by one of your own and nearly wiped out, its survivors are now persecuted for the crimes they tried to prevent. Rally refugees, mercenaries and sympathizers, rebuild your fallen order, and fight to save the people who hate you.
Each mission begins with a hero travelling alone. Scour the land for recruits and make the most of whoever will join your cause. Train your companions, equip them, and discover powerful synergies that turn a ragtag band of rodents into a relentless fighting machine.
Build your fighting force your way. Overwhelm enemies with summons, trigger explosive chain reactions, or focus your power on a single unstoppable fighter.
Explore procedurally generated lands filled with hidden locations, valuable treasures and dangerous encounters. Find friends in low places, conquer hostile strongholds, and discover strange sites of myth.
Choose your path carefully. Ambush enemy patrols or hide from roaming monsters. Health is a precious resource, and you will need to gather supplies to make camp and recover before facing the dangers ahead.
You will also face difficult decisions along the way. Will you spare the misled peasants who take up arms against you? Sacrifice a companion for the power needed to defeat a greater evil?
Position your companions and use consumables like traps, fire bombs, and barricades to gain the upper hand. Commit precious resources to secure a victory, or save them for the challenges still to come.
Watch your build come to life in fast-paced auto battles, where carefully chosen abilities, equipment and party combinations can spiral into glorious chaos
Every mission is part of a larger campaign to rebuild your fallen order. Restore your hidden base, unlock new heroes and leaders, and take on harder missions as your resistance grows.
