If you were a fan of Othercide, this is absolutely one to watch. Ex Sanguis brings back that signature monochrome style splashed with vivid reds, but adds even more control to how you tackle its brutal, ever-changing battlefields. Whether you’re in the mood to charge straight toward a boss or take a more methodical path—collecting resources, building your squad, and stacking advantages—you decide the pace.

What is Ex Sanguis?

Set in a dying world drained by the mysterious Purge, Ex Sanguis is a grim and stylish turn-based tactical RPG where blood isn’t just a weapon—it’s resistance. Every fight you enter paints the bleak landscapes with a splash of rebellion. This is more than combat; it’s a statement.

Core Features

• Stylized Carnage – Classic black-and-white visuals return, but now with crimson eruptions of life. Your enemies won’t just fall—they’ll bleed meaningfully.

• Timeline Mastery – Manipulate turn order with time-based abilities. Speed up, delay, or swap initiative to gain the upper hand.

• Tactical Environment Play – Detonate objects, set enemies on fire, or manipulate sight lines to change the tide of battle.

• Deep Combat Mechanics – Knockbacks, flanking, forced facings, and DoT effects all stack to let you dominate the battlefield with smarts and skill.

• Player-Driven Pathing – Risk it all with tough, high-reward missions, or slow it down to farm upgrades and resources before big encounters.

• Roguelite Progression – Fail a run? Don’t worry. Every attempt unlocks new paths, options, and insights into the game’s dark world of Stasia.
