A hex-tile skirmish game where you build a 3D battlefield from scratch, then send unpainted miniature armies to war.
Who it's for
Miniature-game fans who enjoy assembling terrain and want a two-player skirmish system they can keep expanding for years.
Not for you if…
You don't want to deal with unpainted miniatures or terrain assembly — this is a hands-on hobby game, not a pick-up-and-play title.
Vibe's take
Tactical and tactile — you're constantly rearranging terrain, checking sightlines, and rolling combat dice, with every scenario feeling like a fresh miniature diorama.
Heroscape: Age of Annihilation drops two commanders onto the hex-tiled battlefields of Valhalla, a world where old alliances have collapsed and new legions are forming under rival Valkyrie generals. You draft an army from 20 unpainted miniatures, build the terrain yourself with locking hex tiles and wall pieces, then fight through nine scenarios of the ongoing Battle of All Time. It's a fully physical skirmish game where the board looks different every time you build it.
