Broken Alliance from the Death & Taxes dev is now in Early Access, a love-letter to Heroes of Might and Magic

Placeholder Gameworks who made Death & Taxes just released Broken Alliance into Early Access with Linux support. An indie love letter to pixel art, old-school adventure games, mythical creatures and fantasy storytelling.

They say it has a mixture of inspiration from King's Bounty, Disciples, Heroes of Might and Magic, Age of Wonders, Master of Magic but they mixed in some deck-building for a twist. Coming from a small team of only 9 people there's a mixture of industry veterans that worked on the likes of Disco Elysium, the Might & Magic: Heroes series, Metro franchise, Saints Row and more to industry newcomers.

Broken Alliance features a card combat system that allows each faction for unique gameplay. Expand your kingdom, build up your army, train your Heroes and make or break alliances to save your people from a collapsing world.
