Those Who Rule puts players in the shoes of rookie recruits caught in a whirlwind of deception and war. The title begins with a team of characters who must navigate a complex world where decisions matter and alliances shift with the wind. Players recruit allies, each with special abilities and personal histories, and lead them through increasingly difficult battles. The ultimate goal is to uncover the true forces behind the current conflict, while trying to stay one step ahead of enemies and shifting loyalties. As the story unfolds, the path is rarely clear, and every choice has the potential to change the course of events. Strategic planning is at the core of the gameplay, with battles designed to test your ability to think several steps ahead.
