Tidewoken

About

Tidewoken is a turn-based strategy game set on the planet Nalraaf where you build challengers to fight in a high-stakes tournament. You pick a class and assign up to ten skills from a pool of forty-five options, including one legendary slot per character. The combat lets you control multiple units alone or lead a single hero in team battles against other players. Matches focus on tactical positioning and skill synergy rather than just raw stats. The game leans heavily into competitive play with both PvP and co-op modes available on PC. Players share their loadout strategies online, which helps others optimize their builds for the upcoming tournament rounds. There is no story mode to slow things down here since the goal is purely to win fights using wits and creativity. Community discussions often center on finding the best skill combinations that break the current meta or how to counter specific legendary abilities during a match.

Storyline

The Tournament of the Tidewoken was born as a way to find the strongest contesters to repel the increasingly stronger evil creatures, drawn to the core of the planet Nalraaf. Many poweful beings, called the Tides, ruled over the lands of Nalraaf, a once empty planet with an unique biome and vast amounts of different landscapes. Three of those Tides, Kuundra, Aphase and Venphyra soon populated those worlds with gateways to different worlds, bringing in adventurous travelers, who built cities and began scavenging this planet for artifacts. Soon after the creation of those portal gateways, the gods witnessed evil creatures of many kinds entering the gateways and invading Nalraaf. It was discovered that the magical core of the planet would not only benefit the Tides, but also lure energy hungry creatures through the gateways. As the Tides have no physical form, there was nothing they could do to stop this invasion, but each to choose on a physical contender and lend him their power. Together they formed the Tournament of the Tidewoken. The winners earn the title of Tidewoken and become a vessel for the gods.
