What is Farabel?
Farabel is a single-player strategy game with battles on a hex grid. You command units and use spells through a campaign that runs backward in time, as Cendor tries to save his city. Other modes let you build armies for a series of battles, tackle daily challenges, or survive against endless enemies.
For you if...
- +you enjoy coordinating unit strengths, movement, and abilities
