Packed Lair, a new game released today, blends elements of base building, auto battling, roguelikes, and the popular puzzle game Tetris. It follows the story of an evil lord who must fit an entire empire into a cramped lair. The game takes place on a grid-based space where players can place and rotate buildings to maximize the use of limited room.
These buildings provide various benefits, such as increasing the army's size or strength. Between battles, players can spend in-game currency to expand their lair and unlock more buildings. Building placement and alignment are crucial, as pieces are chosen and drafted randomly, adding a roguelike twist to the experience. The primary goal is to optimize the lair's space, ensuring a synergistic army to conquer the world. Players can use a demo version on Steam to test the game before purchasing it.
