Brookwood Pocket Tactics is a game, that draws heavy inspiration from Redwall, WarCraft, and the tactics genre. Developed with the Forgotten Engine by nowheresoft and GB Studio, it immerses players in managing troops amidst a medieval animal battle.

Amidst newfound abundance, tribal factions — the Khalifa, Sultanate, Eashir, and Hashd’n — vie for dominance, leading to conflict fueled by diverging ideologies.

An unlikely alliance between the Khalifa and Sultanate confronts the formidable Eashir, leading to years of uneasy peace. However, as tensions rise and old wounds resurface, the fragile treaty faces the threat of collapse.
