In HATE, Earth has been ravaged, and the world we knew has given way to a post-apocalyptic nightmare. Nature is dead, the sun has frozen, and all that remains are monstrous creatures fighting for scraps of existence. Based on the visceral works of Adrian Smith, this is no ordinary survival game; it is a brutal and frenetic campaign where violence is the primary currency. You take command of a unique clan and must navigate a multi-game chronicle where every decision could be the last for your warriors. Here, death is permanent: if your fighter falls, they are out of the story. The goal seems simple but is incredibly cruel: you must manage scarce resources and use 'Savagery' — generated through acts of extreme violence against your rivals — to evolve your clan and your village. The more chaos and destruction you cause, the more powerful your abilities become, but remember: the true winner is the one who accumulates the most HATE, becoming the supreme Tyrant over the remains of the world. It is a game of resource management and tactical combat, but with a much darker and more visceral tone. If you enjoy campaign games that don't pull punches and want to feel the weight of every battle, HATE is your next challenge. Prepare your miniatures and get ready to be relentless! ## FAQ ### Is the game very complex? It requires focus!
