SLAUGHTEREON is a Real-Time Tactics game in a harsh retro style, where you fight in a multi-level dungeons, unfolding the story of the Evil Mage, who is luring people into certain death with gold.

HOW TO PLAY

Each level has a task, that you must complete in order to proceed. You can read it at any time with TAB (default) button. 

Your soldiers won't fight for you, if you leave bodies of the deceased for dungeon dwellers to feast. Any alive unit can tie body to himself, and bring it to the safe floor (you can buy items and hire troops on such floors).

Some units have special abilities, for example Militiaman deals more damage when there are other Militiamans nearby, and Knight can't be hurt in melee from a diagonal square. Most items can be used only by according unit (Demolitionists can throw bombs, and Builders can use building kits)
