Game Overview

Gungnir is the ninth entry in Sting Entertainment's acclaimed Dept. Heaven series of strategy games. Set in the oppressed realm of Gargandia, the story follows Giulio, a young resistance fighter belonging to the subjugated Leonica ethnic group. Amid a desperate struggle against the ruling Gargan Empire, Giulio obtains the mythical demon spear, Gungnir, granting him immense power at a harrowing cost. Players must navigate a gritty story of revolution, racial tension, and moral sacrifice while mastering Sting's uniquely deep turn-based tactical combat system.
