An aggressive commander has been spotted on the battlefield!

@mot2332 played our game, and the verdict: an awesome demo for a promising game.

Today, @Huithril started his journey in the Warring States:

“With echoes of Suzerain, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante, and XCOM 2, this could be very special indeed.”

We wholeheartedly agree!

He made full strategic use of the save and load buttons, no judgment from us!

@LegendHeartless @ReformistTM Glad you found us through the subreddit!

Once the demo is out, we’ll share it there so more fans can step onto the battlefield.

We’ve been aiming to make Under the Heavens a game that truly scratches that itch!

[Under the Heavens @uthwss]

First coverage is live!

@ReformistTM played and narrated the first 55 minutes of Under the Heavens, bringing it to life with that butter voice.

“So far I’m very much enjoying it.”

@LegendHeartless @ReformistTM It really is an underserved era, that’s a big reason we wanted to build something around it. Also we're big fans of Kingdom!

Prologue demo drops April 14. Hope you get to try it.
