Fungi-Fueled RTS-Roguelite Beyond the Grove Available Now!
The charming yet chaotic RTS-inspired roguelite officially enters Early Access.
[November 4, 2025] - Step out into a world under siege by a mysterious corruption in Beyond the Grove, available now in Early Access via Steam. Inspired by real-time strategy and roguelite genres, this autobattler puts you in control of an army of mushrooms and golems to defeat the evil forces that have appeared just beyond your once peaceful grove.
As you command your fun-guy forces in Beyond the Grove, adapting becomes the key to victory. Set markers to gather your troops. Summon mighty elemental Golems to turn the tide of battle. And rush back into the fight after facing defeat with abilities more powerful than before. The goal to stop the corruption is clear, but how that goal is met is up to you!
Key Features:
-
Strategic Combat: Strategize your army to maximize your victory. Place down rally markers, create Golems, and watch them get to work. Outsmart your enemies whenever you get the chance to adjust your troops' positioning and composition.
-
Golem Crafting: You won't get far in Beyond the Grove without your Golems. There are over 50 distinct Golems, forged by combining seven elemental types. Different combinations are a must to overcome the corruption.
-
Retreat and Grow: Blessings are powerful traits that enhance the abilities of your troops. With over 100 of them available, you'll need to use them wisely if you find yourself facing defeat. Regroup after upgrading and coming up with a new gameplan so that you can continue the fight!
