Games Like Polytropos: A Tactical Odyssey

Polytropos: A Tactical Odyssey is a roguelite turn-based strategy RPG. Echidna, mother of monsters, has unleashed myriad foes across the Aegean. Olympus calls for aid - recruit armies, cultivate skills, and invoke divine aid to save the realm and become a legendary hero!

Choose Your Path

In Polytropos: A Tactical Odyssey, each playthrough brings you new randomly generated enemies, events, and allies. Your decisions will shape the encounters you face and the development of your hero. Your hero will acquire heroic epithets granting permanent unique effects and learn godly prophecies to turn fights in your favor.

Battles will be won and lost by the strategies you employ. Fight from a distance with a force of archers, or send flying units in to disrupt enemy formations. Hinder your enemies by casting powerful prophecies, or turn your hero into a one-person army and wreak havoc. After each crisis, new boons are earned, allowing you to continually adjust your approach to find success.

Choose Your Patron

Each Patron offers distinct prophecies, units, and epithets to your hero. Behold the pantheon:

Only 4 Patrons are available during each playthrough, so every odyssey offers new, powerful combinations for you to explore. In addition, all patrons have unique synergy effects - for example, having 3 or more Ares units grants Indomitable, causing all your units to become stronger when attacked.
