| Demo available
From what I could gather from the demo: You play a cult trying to bring about the end of the world for your dark god. Feels like a mix of Drox Operative, Conquest of Elysium, and AI War. Move agents around. Infiltrate areas. Raid areas. Infiltrating an area unlocks additional options. Some large cities have high security that makes infiltrating impractical, so there are options to lower the security by infiltrating the surrounding smaller settlements, or causing unrest via stuff like starvation when you raid the surrounding farms. Overt actions will raise the threat level, causing heroes to notice and battle you. Fully infiltrated regions can have portals to the dark god realm opened up for shadow to spread across the world, lowering the responsiveness of rulers and heroes to eventually corrupting them for outright recruitment. Victory conditions seem like either fully covering the world in shadow, or the more overt raising an army to destroy every settlement. You get to choose from a bunch of dark gods. Looks like they play very differently. One is basically The King in Yellow who spreads corruption by transporting a book around the world, driving everyone who reads it mad. Another can eventually be awakened into the world as a strong military unit which grows stronger over time until it's a giant snake that can devour whole cities. Sounds interesting. Demo is a bit too limited to get the full picture. Very rough indie polish like Elysium. I figure MM could make the call. |
