Overview

About this game

Inspired by games like Thronefall, SNKRX, and Warcraft III, Wool at the Gates blends strategic base building with fast-paced hero combat and deep class synergy systems that evolve across each run.

Gameplay

  • Class Synergies: Combine building types to unlock powerful auto-battler-inspired class bonuses and define your playstyle.

  • Faction Perks: Choose between Human, Orc, and Elf structures to unlock unique faction-specific upgrades and strategies.

  • Real-Time Combat: Fight alongside your army as a powerful hero, using abilities and positioning to hold the line during chaotic battles.
