What the game is
Gravebound Rising is a single-player RTS released October 6, 2026 at $3.99, combining real-time strategy, settlement building and persistent progression.

Troops gain experience, commanders level up and lead their own squads, and named retainers grow into a force worth protecting.

Five rival kingdoms - dwarves, orcs, goblins, seraphs and elves - develop settlements, recruit stronger forces and send warbands.
