Three Against the Odds

Three Against the Odds is a base defense fantasy roguelike.

"In each cycle of crisis, three heroes shall arise from our people to meet the challenge...always there are three." --- The Wizened One

Yet another magic wielding jerk from another dimension has spoiled an otherwise reasonable existence and banished Frogkind, forcing them to roam the world of Primeva, hunted.

You grew up in this crucible and are now ready to lead your people to conquer your old nemesis.

Travel the world across changing seasons and climates, building up your heroes and settlement as you face wave after wave of enemies until you are ready to return to your homeland and forcibly evict the evil one for good and all.
