Short description

Your faction is in your hands in this 4X real-time strategy game. As a powerful mage, build thriving settlements and diverse armies to discover the secrets and stories at the heart of Muriet.

Long description

Heart of Muriet is a solo developed real-time fantasy 4X game in which you play as an apprentice mage who must develop their skills and grow their settlement to tame the beautiful but perilous land of Muriet. When disaster strikes and you're forced from your homeland, you must use your wits and every tool at your disposal to survive and dominate. Implacable monsters and ruthless rival mages stand in your way. Can you bring Muriet under your spell?

How your faction develops is in your hands. Select from six pre-defined mage archetypes, or fully customize your own mage, choosing their traits, starting spells, and initial unlocked research. Over 60 diverse spells are at your disposal from four magic Realms: Nature, Fire, Water and Arcane.

But the configuration possibilities don't end with your mage. With a vast research tree featuring over 300 options, your experience will differ hugely depending on which research paths you specialise in. Want to focus first on becoming an all-powerful mage, bursting with powerful spells? No problem. Or do you think quickly developing military might is key? Go ahead. The choice is yours.

As picturesque as Muriet is, it's filled with dangers. Predators lurk in dark forests, Undead soldiers and terrifying monsters emerge from rifts between worlds, and rival mages have also staked their claim on this verdant land. You will need to fight if you are to survive and thrive.

In addition to your mage's powerful spells, you can command dozens of units to defend your provinces and conquer new ones. Send them to fight automatically with just a couple of clicks and adjust battle stances to give yourself the best chance in each encounter.

Before expanding into unconquered provinces, make use of Heart of Muriet's unique exploration and spying features. Send scouts to assess a province's attributes and the enemy's strengths and weaknesses so that you can plan your next moves accordingly. And if everything gets a bit overwhelming, you can always pause and issue your orders in peace!

You aren't the only one to seek a new home in Muriet.
