What to study
The overview state of Demons' Night Fever's tactics: a checkerboard field that makes the grid diegetic, units reduced to a bar and at most two tiny icons, and all the bookkeeping pushed to the corners, phase and turn count in a black chevron at top-right, the army's shared Action Points (10/100) under the demon lord's portrait at bottom-left. Nothing on the field competes with position: who is hurt, whose phase it is, and how much action is left are each answered by exactly one element. Frame at about 0:30 in the PreOrder Trailer video (Steam), a pipeline scene-change survivor (candidates/v0_0015.png at 29.5s). Pre-release development footage, the trailer's own footer notes the final version may differ.

Screen inventory
- the battlefield is a literal checkerboard, alternating grey diamonds, so grid position reads at a glance even where no overlay is drawn
- seven units stand on the field with flat HP bars in two colours (pink for enemies, cyan for allies) and small numbered status icons under two of them; no names or numbers clutter the field itself
- top-right: the phase ribbon, PLAYER PHASE / TURN 2 beside a demon-face icon and a NEXT TURN counter (3), turn structure compressed into one black chevron strip
- bottom-left: the acting demon lord's full-body portrait looms over the corner, with Action Points as a segmented pink/yellow bar, 10/100, the shared action budget for the whole army
