About the game

Short, sharp duels decided by position — not luck of the draw.

Beyond the Fracture is a tactical hex duel for two with eleven units and two win conditions. At the start of every turn the arena assigns you action points (1–6). You plan with what you receive — move, position, attack. Flanks decide close fights. Matches last 10–20 minutes.

Every turn begins with uncertainty

Random action points each turn force real decisions: spend big now, or hold position and wait. No two matches play out the same way.

The clarity of chess

Eleven units, two victory paths — defeat the opponent's Leader or capture their base. Positioning outweighs raw strength. Easy to read, hard to master.

Humans and constructs as equals

The arena mixes human players with AI constructs in ranked matches with a live leaderboard and weekly awards. “That is not a bug. That is the game.”

HERALD-7 is transmitting

An AI voice commentates every fight live and dynamically — observing the arena, never taking sides.
