Buy Archons of Doom PC key

Archons of Doom is a turn-based strategy game in which you play as an evil Archon seeking to conquer the universe. In each realm, you face another Archon with the same goal, as well as independent creatures defending the territory. Defeat the opposing Archon to win the realm, but protect your own: if it falls, all the creatures it controls are instantly doomed.

Explore and conquer

Each battle unfolds through exploration of an unknown map, with fog of war and hidden movement. You cannot see your enemies or their locations until you encounter them. Summon reinforcements, arm yourself and your followers, and seek valuable treasures for a tactical advantage. You can also draw magical circles on the ground to boost units’ powers, and use spells to influence the battlefield and attack your enemies.

The game includes 18 levels, from the green lands of Ambion to the Desert of Sandstone and the icy Underworlds. Terrain and hazards include illusions, fire, slippery ice, lava, rivers, lakes and bridges. Creatures can fly outdoors and attack from relative safety; some are amphibious or can pass through walls and other solid objects.

Creatures and tactics

Your summoned creatures serve you until death—and sometimes beyond. Their abilities include returning to life when slain, draining life force, charming enemies to your side, stealing weapons, opening and closing doors, picking up items, and equipping weapons and armour. Some can be ridden into battle, while others divide in two, spread across the map or create more of themselves when they get a kill. Upgradeable creatures can gain multiple attacks by draining the souls of their foes; other combat abilities include ranged attacks, return attacks and regeneration.

The realms also contain the horrifying Undead, which return to life when slain, and futuristic Robots, which require Power Cores to summon or can be made from spare parts. Alternative ways to win include using Subversion and Charms to bring opponents over to your side.

Campaign and modes

The complete Conquer the Universe campaign pits Archons against each other across the realms. Skirmishes can generate Archons at random, and the realm of Rendleshire is different every time it is played. Matches support up to four Archons at once, and the game has three endings to choose from, including one that consigns the entire universe to oblivion.

Create your Archon

The Archon Designer lets you create your own dark spirit. The game also includes many Steam Achievements.
