I can't rate this game due to not understanding it at all, even with the info in the manual. I am happy to try again later if a better explanation or even a tutorial is added to the game

I'm sorry for the manual's lack of quality, but hopefully this will help you use the manual properly 

For Corpus Legatus,

You select any unit (goldenrod border) (Tap on the Unit) (Tap on the button with the unit on to select)

Then you press one of the big buttons (explained on the manual) 

And then the stuff described happens

Ty for clarifying.

Hope you enjoy the game!

The manual could use some TLC, a demo at the least.

The game is decent enough but your devlog shows it was made 22-24 days while the jam only started 17 days ago.

Can you explain how it resembles chess, apart from being turn based and top down?

Thank you for your inquiry, I think it resembles chess because the only random thing is the starting state of the board (already a genre of chess)

Everything is Deterministic, (Exactly like Chess)

There's Also Unit Stats (An Acceptable thing in chess)

I think the only non chess like thing is the economy, but the game isn't particularly made for this jam, it's just fits thr genre accidentally.

Thank you for your inquiry!

Hi, before rating, is there a way to explain how to play? The manual link doesn't explain much and I don't know what to do.
