About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

D&D meets Panzer General in this unique Strategy-RPG hybrid. Drawing inspiration from classic turn-based games and blending with the magic and fantasy of Dungeons and Dragons, The Story Begins is the first installment in The Qaedon Wars saga.



The Qaedon Wars saga will tell the story of the people of Qaedon's fight to restore their world after the Great Cataclysm. This first episode The Story Begins will see your Hero start at Level 1 and begin the journey towards redemption for his/her world.

Loosely based on Dungeons and Dragons Open Game License (OGL 1e/2e) of Wizards of the Coast, the game provides a deep strategy and roleplaying experience as you build and progress your fantasy army through the single-player campaign. The Story Begins delivers old-school gaming with retro hand-drawn 2D graphics throughout.



  • 50+ hours of game play in Story Mode which allows you to choose which objectives you wish to tackle in a particular Campaign.
  • Choose your hero and protect them through the campaign. If your hero dies it's game over!
  • Multiple battle scenarios, all with random objectives and enemies to increase replayability.
  • Varying mission types including Attack, Defend, Rescue, Capture, Escort.
  • Tactical turn-based battles on hex (overland) or square grids (underground). Battles can last between 30 minutes and 2+ hours.
  • Detailed army management between battles where you can improve your units' skills, get cures or buy new equipment (if you have the cash).
  • Hundreds of items for your units to loot.
  • Hundreds of spells for your Clerics and Mages to blast the enemy or help your troops.
  • Fill your coffers with Qaedi (the global currency) by looting your enemies and achieving mission objectives to finance your army operations.
  • Permanent death for units unless you can afford Resurrection!!
  • Dozens of options to customize gameplay.
  • Optional advanced rules to completely change the way you play, including Fog of War and Single or Split Movement.
  • Customize each unit in your army as they level up through combat experience.
  • Dozens of attributes for each unit covering their physical quality, abilities, movement, and combat modifiers.
  • Equip your units with all manner of goodies using a variable inventory with up to 23 slots per unit.
  • Build spellbooks for your spellcasters from two Schools of Magic - Arcane and Divine.
  • Send your Warriors into the front line supported by your Archers, Clerics, and Mages. Conduct sneak attacks with your Rogues.
  • Recruit single or multi class units like the Cleric/Mage.
  • Fight Giant Rats (can be quite nasty), Ulmug Orc Warriors (not very nice at all), and dozens of other foes.
  • Deal with Traps and Persistent Spells like the Riftgate.
  • Detailed In-Game Player Guides (Game Manual, Item Directory, Spell Compendium).
  • Help System for every spell, item, and ability.
  • Customizable Tooltip System.
  • ...and so much more!
