About
Hive Blight is an engaging roguelite autobattler where you command a diverse army of insect warriors against a creeping fungal corruption. Navigate dynamic procedural maps to find merchants, altars, and upgrades while forging strategic alliances between powerful bug clans. Master complex unit synergies to survive automated tactical battles and defeat the mysterious Fungomancien.
Story
The kingdom is crumbling under the influence of the Fungomancien, a malevolent entity spreading toxic Blight across the land. You must unite distinct insect factions—from the aggressive Vespadas to the healing Symphonie Sucrée—to push back the plague.
