Warkestra (demo)
A downloadable game for Windows
** Microphone is required to play **
Warkestra is an action strategy game using Intent recognition deep learning technology. Use your own voice and words to command your troops.
Resurrect fallen enemies as your own minions. Figure out the right combination of troops and skills to fight your way through each stage. Empower yourself and your troops by collecting artifacts. Defeat the Boss. Be Victorious!
Voice Command Examples:
- Utilize verbs such as attack, destroy, kill, or eliminate.
- Targets can be specified in your command, like 'attack the warriors', 'kill the green archers', or 'destroy them all.'
- Specify both the troops and the target; for instance, 'One warrior, attack the red archers.'
- Skills can be activated by saying the skill name followed by the target. Try 'taunt the blue golems.'
- Experiment with attack variations, such as 'attack from behind,' or 'attack counterclockwise.'
- Try using phrases like 'Follow me' or 'Stop'.
- When you call out 'Help Me,' the troops will target enemies attacking you.
- The command 'Come here' will guide your troops to your position where they will remain on alert.
- Say 'Watch Out' to have your troops avoid the red attack zones.
Since Warkestra has the ability to analyze intentions, don't hesitate to combine different words in your commands and discover what feels most comfortable for you.

Hi, I enjoyed the demo a lot, but have a bit of suggestion regarding the game's concept. For now, voice recognition system does not seem to have that much of an edge compared to games like mount&blade where I can give pinpoint orders by just pressing a few keys in less than a second. I can sign out multiple precise orders to many groups in less than a second, while fighting with enemy troops in third person at the same time.
If the environment was too complex to abstract into key bindings, the intent analysis thing could help me a bit I think. But for now, I don't see the troop commanding system to be better than traditional ones used in bannerlord from precision, speed, and depth perspective.
Hey, fredrikthe3rd. Thank you for the detailed feedback! What you pointed out was definitely something we were struggling to balance, and it is still one of the top question marks for us.
As this is our very first demo version, we will be tweaking the system to better enhance the voice command system.
Thank you so much for playing the game and taking the time to give us your opinion!
This game provides a fascinating experience. It's a world where commanding minions with words is possible, quite amusing! 😄
We are working hard to perfect the technology and find the right balance! Thank you for playing and leaving a comment!
I look forward to more sophisticated commands! lots of potential thinking that this is only the initial demo
Yes, this is the first demo and we are working hard to get to the point where the commands feel more natural. Thank you so much for playing and for the kind review!
The voice command system in this game is truly innovative! The experience of directly commanding an army as a player adds a whole new level of immersion and strategic depth to the game. The responsiveness and accuracy of the AI are impressive, giving a feeling akin to actually leading a battle. This feature significantly enhances the gameplay, making it a standout aspect of the game.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! Hope to see you soon in the full version on Steam!
