In short, Dirge of Sorrows: A Nation Reborn (DoS1) is a Roleplaying/Turn-Based-Strategy hybrid that plays like a board game. It's inspired by Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen, but is very much its own thing... I have no interest in making yet another remake/reboot in an entertainment industry shamefully saturated with them. There's still plenty of things that have yet to be done, and hopefully this is one of them.
