ABOUT THIS GAME The Eighth Squad is a dark fantasy squad-builder where units are living cards. You recruit, train, and craft synergies; they fight automatically in real-time. Meta progression carries over, so every run starts stronger and goes deeper. BUILD YOUR SQUAD Recruit fresh units at the tavern, set your formation, and decide where to invest your gold: stat boosts, training, and build-defining upgrades. CARDS OVER MINIS Every unit is a clear, readable card (TCG-style). Stats, roles, and progression are visible at a glance. Less visual clutter, more tactical decisions. GAME-CHANGING SYNERGIES Combine units to trigger synergies and optimize your comp. The difference between victory and a wipe usually comes down to one smart purchase… or a bad one. META PROGRESSION Unlock upgrades that persist between runs to push deeper into the abyss. You’re not starting from scratch: you’re building the Eighth Squad, run after run. FEATURES TCG-style units: clear roles, stats, and progression at a glance Deep customization: recruit and train units to define unique builds Real-time auto-battles: preparation decides the outcome Impactful synergies: compositions that drastically alter your power Meta progression: permanent upgrades to push further each run
