What is Gridlords?

Gridlords is a grid-based tactics game built around positioning, unit matchups, and turn-by-turn decision making. Instead of reflexes, it rewards planning: you deploy a squad, move pieces across a tactical board, manage resources between fights, and try to out-think your opponent rather than out-click them.

Battles mix single-player encounters with an async PvP autobattler mode, where you face saved squads and defense logic at your own pace. Early access keeps the roster, balance, and systems evolving, so our wiki tracks the current meta with guides, tier lists, and step-by-step walkthroughs.
