About One Must Rule

One Must Rule is a strategic roguelike auto-battler about growing a medieval settlement into an empire. Players govern from the council table, draft cards, construct buildings and recruit an army before testing their strategy in automated combat.

Buildings generate specialized resources, while units spend those resources during battle to power attacks and buffs. Each ruler brings distinct starting values and special abilities, giving players different ways to build an engine and face PvE encounters or asynchronous battles against other players’ builds.
