Spearholt

Spearholt is a turn-based tactics game on a small grid. Lead the frontier guard against bog raiders: every unit moves once and acts once a turn, and the damage is always exactly attack minus defence, so the forecast tells you what will happen before you commit.

• 12 missions with four kinds of goal: rout the raiders, defeat their chief, hold the villages for a number of turns, or slip out through the fen
• Five squad members: the Pikeman pushes foes back (into rock or water for extra damage), the Archer shoots from range and further from hills, the Warden shields neighbours, the Herbalist heals and the Rider charges
• Six kinds of raider, from fast bog hounds to healing shamans and the raider chief
• Terrain matters: forests, hills and villages defend, water and rock block, villages mend
• Raider ranges view, undo move, and three stars per mission (win, lose nobody, finish within par)
• Every mission is beaten by the built-in AI in an automated test; keyboard, controller, mouse or touch; English and Bulgarian
• Native builds for Windows (64-bit), Linux (64-bit) and Android (64-bit ARM); progress and settings are saved; no ads, no tracking, no internet needed.

Code and text written with AI assistance; checked by PN Scripts with automated tests. Every shape is drawn and every sound synthesised by code; there are no AI-generated image or audio files.
