Story
Pactmage: Chess Roster is a turn-based tactics game where every unit has HP, a role, a skill, and a passive. Element matchups, positioning, target choice, and timing all shape the outcome. Seven elements, one chart. Water, Fire, Grass, Thunder, Ice, Wind, Earth. 2× one way, 0.5× the other. Every unit is more than a chess piece. Five roles — Fighter, Shooter, Mage, Tank, Support — each with its own skill and passive. Win, and they join you. Defeat a unit in Adventure and form a Pact to recruit it permanently. Three ways to fight. A 5-chapter Adventure campaign, local PvP on one machine, and Steam online PvP with casual and ranked queues plus friend room codes. 60+ units. Zero paywall. No gacha, no paid units — every unit unlocks by playing. Playable in English, 简体中文, 日本語, 繁體中文.
