Combat Game Designer

We're looking for a Combat Game Designer to join our flagship project, Hero Wars: Alliance -someone who's passionate about shaping how combat feels to players: ability mechanics, readability, pacing, visual feedback, and how heroes actually perform in battle.

It's important to understand how every new mechanic affects game balance, the meta, hero synergies, counter-picks, and the existing hero roster. That's why a strong foundation in balance design is essential for this role.

What you'll do:

• Design ability mechanics for new heroes.

• Define how abilities feel and how clearly they are communicated during combat.

• Analyze how players actually use heroes in battle.

• Work with balance, synergies, and the constraints of the existing combat system.

• Own features throughout the entire lifecycle-from concept and GDD to release, analysis, and future iterations.

• Collaborate closely with developers, artists, UI/UX designers, analysts, and other stakeholders.

We hope that you have

• 5+ year of experience in Game Design

• Strong knowledge of successful mid-core games (Battler, 4x strategies)
