Hidden Pass is a distinctive turn-based tactical RPG mixed with 4X strategy elements, offering deep gameplay and a rich technomagic fantasy setting. Players become the Wanderer, traveling through the mysterious Elyrium Belt — a cluster of floating islands powered by a dangerous mineral that grants both strength and madness. As they explore new regions, gather resources, and upgrade the Wanderer’s Tower, they must balance combat, research, and management to survive and thrive in this complex world.
Combat in Hidden Pass takes place on a unique, three-layered battlefield where units can fight on multiple vertical levels. Positioning, terrain, and tactical foresight determine victory. Players can command a wide range of units — from humans and mages to Elyrium-powered automatons — each with distinct skills and strategies. Every battle is dynamic, visually engaging, and rewards smart thinking over brute force.
A key feature of Hidden Pass is the Elyrium Madness system, where the more a player uses the power of Elyrium, the greater the benefits — but also the higher the risk of losing control. This tension creates exciting, unpredictable encounters. Between battles, players can upgrade their flying fortress, research new technologies, and build powerful armies to conquer additional islands within the Elyrium Belt.
Visually, Hidden Pass impresses with its detailed art style and technomagic world design that blends ancient runes with futuristic machinery. The combination of strategic depth, captivating world-building, and intense turn-based combat makes it an ideal choice for fans of tactical RPGs and 4X strategy games like Heroes of Might and Magic or Endless Legend.
