What's in the pack

24 side-view pixel art battle units on exact 32x32 cells: 4 factions x 6 roles, every unit in 4 team colours (blue, red, yellow, purple). For RTS, tower defense, lane battles, autobattlers and tactics games. 1984 frames in all (496 per team).

Licence in one line: use it in your commercial games; do not resell the files. No credit required.

The factions

  • Kingdom: Peasant, Swordsman, Pikeman, Archer, Mage, Knight
  • Horde: Peon, Axe Warrior, Spear Raider, Hunter, Shaman, Brute
  • Undead: Gravedigger, Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Spearman, Skeleton Archer, Necromancer, Death Knight
  • Ironhold: Miner, Axeman, Halberdier, Crossbowman, Runepriest, Ironclad

Every faction has the same six roles: worker, melee, spear, ranged, caster and heavy, so armies balance against each other. Each faction has its own build: broad orcs, thin skeletons, short and wide dwarves.

Animations

Every unit: idle (4), walk (6), attack (4), hurt (2), death (4). Workers also chop and mine (work, 4 frames). The hit or the release is frame 3.

Also inside

  • Projectiles: arrows, bone arrows and crossbow bolts with team-coloured fletching, and a 3-frame magic bolt per faction.
  • Impacts per faction (4 frames), hit dust, selection rings (32x16, 2 frames) and a waving rally banner (16x32, 4 frames) in every team colour.
  • 16x16 build-menu icons for every unit in every team.
  • units.json: names, factions, roles, frame counts, fps, hit frames, each ranged unit's projectile spawn point, suggested stat tiers and the 4-colour team ramps for palette swaps.
  • Single frames (1x, 2x), strips, sheets and icons (1x-4x). Units face right; flip for left.

What it does not include

No left-facing copies (flip in your engine), no buildings, tiles, UI or sound. The backgrounds and text in the screenshots are previews.

Licence
