Revolutionary strategy board game fusing Chess × SRPG on 7×5 grid. Command unit chips with unique life, attack power & special abilities to destroy enemy stronghold "Ludiger" using death god "Fenria"! Deep strategic gameplay via CPU, offline & online battles!
Ludiger is an entirely new type of competitive strategy board game that fuses the accessibility of simplified chess with the unit characteristic systems of SRPG (Simulation RPG).
Simple Yet Deep
"Defeat the opponent's stronghold (Ludiger)"
"Defeat the opponent's Fenria"
Victory conditions require fulfilling either of these two objectives. Despite concise rules, the strategies to achieve them are infinite.
We aimed for exquisite game balance that everyone from beginners to experts can enjoy.
7×5 Grid Battlefield
The compact 7×5 grid battlefield creates speedy yet strategic gameplay.
Positioning on SRPG-like grid squares holds the key to victory!
Life and Damage System
Each chip has unique life (durability) and accumulates damage when attacked.
When stamina reaches 0, it's destroyed. Rather than simple one-hit kills, calculated strategic offense and defense unfolds.
Some chips also have unique special abilities, allowing you to enjoy battles that utilize each characteristic.
Battle with Steam friends, of course, and match with Steam players worldwide.
Introducing Elo rating system and rank system - strive together to become Grandmaster!
