Three Dice. Meaningful Decisions.
Each turn begins with three energy dice. Assign one to each of your core skills:
- Movement: Reposition, approach an enemy, or move behind an obstacle.
- Strength: Spend points to strike enemies within range.
- Guard: Absorb incoming damage when enemies respond.
Each die adds to its assigned permanent skill. Your highest roll might help defeat a dangerous enemy—or provide the protection you need to survive another turn.
You can move and attack in any order while you have points available. When you end your turn, the remaining enemies advance and attack.
Twelve Strongholds to Overcome
Fight through a complete twelve-room campaign featuring different layouts, obstacles, and enemy combinations.
Each foe has visible endurance and defined combat abilities. Learn which enemies fight at close range, which threaten you from a distance, and which use armor to withstand your strikes.
Use the board carefully. Walls block movement and sight lines, and positioning can keep several enemies from reaching you at once.
This alpha uses a labeled tactical grid with highlighted legal moves and attack targets, keeping the important decisions easy to see.
Recover—or Grow Stronger?
Clearing a room brings a choice:
Restore your endurance completely, or permanently improve Movement, Strength, Guard, or Range.
Improving a skill does not heal your traveler. Carrying an injury into the next room may be worthwhile—but sometimes recovery is the wisest preparation.
Clear the final stronghold to complete the campaign.

Biblical Inspiration, Fictional Adventure
Stand Firm draws its theme from Ephesians 6:10–18 while using original fictional combat rules.
The traveler, demonic adversaries, strongholds, dice, and upgrades belong to the game’s imagined setting. Endurance and dice results do not measure faith or determine whether prayer works.
The promotional illustrations and concept gallery show a visual direction; they are not gameplay screenshots.
