A Year of Rain

Mechanics

In A Year Of Rain, the action is shown from the top-down perspective. During the game, players deal with gathering raw materials, expanding their headquarters, as well as recruiting soldiers, which are then sent to fight. The list of the latter includes both infantry and cavalry, as well as special units such as clerics that heal wounded allies and Genie that attack enemies with powerful combat spells. As players progress, they increase the combat potential of each of their subordinates, unlocking new skills and developing existing ones, as well as working on various upgrades (such as stronger armor). Also important are heroes and their abilities, which, when skillfully used, can change the result of many battles.

Game modes

A Year Of Rain is designed primarily for two players; however, the game also allows you to play alone, but in that case one is forced to cooperate with artificial intelligence. In addition to the story campaign, there is also a combat mode where two teams clash, and a gameplay variant called Against All Odds, where two heroes have to face two armies.

Technical aspects

A Year Of Rain has colorful, three-dimensional visuals, which in of style evokes associations with iconic Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. The gameplay is accompanied by music composed by Neal Acree, the author of soundtracks for many games by Blizzard Entertainment.
