Zero-Sum Hex: Battle for the Mana Forge

Zero-Sum Hex is a fast, turn-based strategy game played on a hex grid. Your goal is simple: pick your team, enter the arena, and eliminate the enemy squad to win.

How to Play

  1. Draft Your Squad: Choose 6 warriors to join your team. You can pick different classes or even the same ones multiple times to create your own strategy.
  2. Deployment: Place your units on the board. A coin toss decides who starts—the player who deploys first also gets the first turn in the battle!
  3. The Battle: Each turn, you can move and attack with every unit. Use the terrain and special items to gain the upper hand.

Key Features

  • 8 Unique Classes: Lead brave Paladins, powerful Mages, or fast Assassins. Each class has its own strengths, armor, and attack range.
  • Tactical Terrain: Hide in Forests to dodge attacks, but avoid Swamps where you are easy to hit. Watch out for Mountains—they block your path and your sight!
  • Magic vs. Steel: Physical units must deal with enemy armor, but Mages ignore it completely with their magic damage.
  • Multiplayer & AI: Challenge a friend in real-time online matches or practice your skills against a smart CPU opponent.
  • Battle Relics: Collect power-ups that appear during the fight to heal your troops or boost your stats.

This game is currently in v0.1 (beta). The project is in active development, and more updates are coming soon!
