Oz: Broken Kingdom

About

You play as Ophelia Shen in this turn-based strategy game set in a twisted version of the Land of Oz. The kingdom has fallen under dark magic, and you must team up with reimagined Oz icons like the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion to stop a resurrected witch. Combat blends grid-based tactics with resource management as you deploy units, use magical abilities, and scavenge crystals to upgrade your party. Each decision impacts how you navigate the war-torn regions of Oz, from forests to deserts, while figuring out the mystery behind the kingdom’s collapse. The game stands out for its deep strategy layer and character-driven narrative. Players appreciate the balance between tactical combat and RPG elements like装备 customization and branching story choices. While some found the pacing uneven in early chapters, the mid-game shift to open-world exploration and boss battles earned praise for its creativity. With over 100 hours of content reported by dedicated players, the game leans into classic fantasy tropes but adds a fresh spin through its reworked lore and asymmetric unit mechanics.

Storyline

When Dorothy Gale and the Wizard of Oz vanished, the Kingdom of Oz was struck by dark magic and it was up to Queen Ozma who used a magical pool to summon someone who can save it. Ophelia Shen had stowed away with her cat upon a cargo ship's lifeboat which got caught in a storm. It would be assumed that the ship made it safely but the storm dislodged her lifeboat as she found herself in Oz. Her cat was unconscious but magical crystals transformed her pet into a talking crystal cat. Upon arriving, she encounters Winged Monkies who attacked her but Ozma from afar guides her through a Magic Picture in defeating them. After this, a mysterious wicked witch appears and steals the cat while claiming Ozma is a false Queen. Ophelia heads to the Emerald City and meets with Ozma in person who tells her that she needs to get the aid of Oz's legendary heroes in order to defeat the newly rescurrected Wicked Witch of the East.
