The Scouring

The Scouring is a real-time strategy game in which players build bases, manage resources, and command armies, including defending against waves of undead at night. The game also features a distinct mode described as Action RPG Strategy, where players control a customisable hero who fights using skills, gains experience, and collects items while AI manages the army, resources, and bases in the background.

Multiplayer support includes team skirmishes and free-for-all matches for up to 8 players, with customisable match settings and multiple game modes. Players can enter dungeons to search for items and equip gear and abilities to adjust their hero’s playstyle, combining direct combat with strategic army management.

The game includes Steam Workshop integration, allowing players to download or create custom maps, game modes, and AI scripts. Development is described as community-driven, with ongoing updates informed by player feedback through Discord, Reddit, and other channels.
