Champions Tactics Reforged sets its strategy in Grimoria, where you take the role of a young lord leading mythical Champions. These playable figurines are described as living relics, created by a mysterious Alchemist through forbidden magic. The premise gives the contest between players a dark-fantasy frame: your team is built from legendary beings whose abilities shape the battle.
Combat is turn-based and pits players against one another, with outcomes resting on tactics, mind games, and the careful use of Champion abilities. Each Champion has distinctive strengths and weaknesses, so assembling a lineup is part of the strategy, not simply a matter of choosing powerful figures. The game also describes invoking Champions through the Bloodstone and selecting counters to an opponent’s lineup, placing team composition alongside battlefield decisions.
The store listing also identifies single-player as a category, but the described central experience is multiplayer competition. Grimoria’s figurine-inspired Champions and lineup-focused turn-based battles make that competitive format the defining lens for understanding the game.
