Covenant

The roster is locked, and every balance change is published with its reason.

The sixty are fixed: no unit is added, removed or swapped out from under a team you spent a month learning. When a number does move, it lands in a public changelog that says what moved and why, entry by entry - you read it in writing instead of discovering it by losing. The promise is checked by machinery, not trust: the game fingerprints its own balance data and compares that fingerprint to the published record, so a build that no longer matches what was published says so out loud.

Your fight actually happens.

Your team is not a number that gets compared to another number. It stands on a real 3D battlefield with terrain, lanes and flanks, and the fight plays out unit by unit: casts telegraph, kills are called, and the replay of every round is yours to step through. You can see which flank broke and know why you lost before the screen tells you.

Sixty units. Fourteen origins. Six classes.

Gilgamesh, Anansi, Dracula, John Henry, Paul Bunyan, Ra, the Kraken: a roster drawn from the world's myths and legends, every one with an authored ability. Origins and classes ignite team synergies when you field enough of them, items combine from components you win on the carousel and in the monster rounds, and augment picks on rounds two, four and seven bend the rules of your run.

Two ways to play the same roster.

The match. Eight rounds against seven opponents. Buy from a rolling shop, level up, position your units, hold gold for interest, and watch each round resolve on the stage.

The campaign. Eight regions of roguelite runs: pick a party, walk a branching map, fight scored set-piece missions with real objectives, bank relics, and choose your road at every fork.

Deterministic by construction.

Every random outcome comes from one seeded source, so a match can be replayed exactly, a bug can be reproduced exactly, and a balance claim can be tested rather than argued. That is why the covenant can be a promise instead of a slogan.
