The story is about a Troll who, after getting beaten up with his squad against a battle against a High Elf patrol, eventually got lost, washed off a river, and then ended up in a human kingdom; while the people are kind enough to offer hospitality to him, he has to earn his keep by help dealing with the nation's problems like bandits, cultists, and chaos dwarves before he could ask for help for his people.

  • QWER spells for convenience

  • Different classes later on for different gameplay styles
  • Convenient AI companion system (can get only one companion)
