Launches 10 November 2026 · PC

Story
Overview A strategy roguelite with real-time tactical battles. Your goal is to destroy the capital of the human kingdom. You begin with only a handful of minions—just enough to raid villages.

Later on, you will be able to organize your forces into multiple hordes, allowing them to fight with greater coordination and efficiency. Satan...
