Martyrdom is a 28mm historical tabletop wargame, centered on the brutal clashes of the First Crusade. Built on a fast-paced "rank and flank" system, the game emphasizes battlefield stamina and tactical friction through a dynamic fatigue mechanic, randomized unit activations, and streamlined, clutter-free combat rules.

The flagship launch box, The Battle of Dorylaeum, recreates the 1097 clash in Asia Minor. It delivers a complete two-player starter experience with 86 detailed plastic miniatures split between two opposing forces: the heavily armored Italo-Norman Crusaders led by Bohemond of Taranto, and the mobile cavalry and foot archers of Kilij Arslan I’s Seljuk Empire. Designed alongside historical experts, the box includes full armies, bases, fatigue dice, gameplay tokens, and a quickstart guide, paired with the studio's commitment to keeping core rules and army lists free to download.
