Gather Your Troops for the Hidden Pass
Just in case you missed out, GG Studio’s story-driven tactical roguelite Hidden Pass is already out on Steam. The game came out this month, and you can still purchase it for $14.99 at a 25% discount until 28th August. Moreover, a free prologue version is also available for everyone to try out.
In Hidden Pass, you take on the role of a Wanderer, part explorer, part tactician, and part leader. Your mission is to journey across sky islands and reach the center of the mysterious Elyrium Belt. Along the way, you will recruit a diverse crew of heroes, craft techno-magical devices, and construct Elyrium-fueled automatons to fight at your side.
Combat is the heart of the game, unfolding across three tactical layers that challenge players to master both land and aerial strategies. Units with flight can move freely between layers, creating opportunities to outflank grounded enemies. With every battle, careful planning is essential, as your four-unit squad can rotate reserves mid-fight to withstand attrition.
Your home base, the Wanderer’s Tower, serves as a mobile fortress and factory. From here, you can produce fresh units, enhance gear, and research new technologies while maneuvering between shifting resource-rich islands. The Tower also plays a key role in sustaining your campaign against rival factions and warped magical beasts.
Elyrium, the source of both power and peril, fuels abilities that can turn battles in your favor but slowly push your troops toward madness. This risk and reward system adds an edge of unpredictability, making each expedition feel high stakes.
With layered tactics, evolving heroes, and a world brimming with secrets, Hidden Pass offers players a richly strategic journey through the skies.
