About this game
Beyond the Grove is a charming RTS-inspired autobattler where you, a young Grove Keeper, must venture out to face a mysterious corruption. With a steady stream of summoned mushroom warriors and crafted elemental golems by your side, rally your forces to victory and discover the fate of the world beyond your grove.
Command your army in a cycle of strategy and action. Take time to place rally markers on the battlefield and create golems, then watch the battle unfold until your next chance to adapt. Rinse and repeat. Adjust your army’s movements, tweak its composition, and outsmart your enemies.
Your mushroom troops can’t do it alone! Deploy over 50 distinct Golems to turn the tide of battle. Each Golem is forged by combining seven elemental types, resulting in unique strengths, weaknesses, and special attacks. To defeat the corruption, you'll need to experiment with different combinations and craft the perfect Golem for every situation.
Harness over 100 unique Blessings, powerful traits that enhance your abilities and strengthen your troops. If enemy forces overwhelm you, retreat to your grove and regroup, but not all is lost! Carry forward the knowledge and power gained from previous runs, rally your allies, explore the world, and take the fight to the corruption once and for all.
