Dark Lord

Dark Lord is a strategic role-playing game with roguelike elements. You rule a kingdom as the Dark Lord, expanding into new lands, cultivating your territories and managing the balance between military strength and political intrigue. Your choices shape the narrative and the fate of your realm.

Rule your kingdom

Fortify your stronghold and manage advisors who may serve you, plot against you or pursue schemes of their own. Decide whom to execute for disloyalty and whom to reward with gold, and pit advisors against one another so none gains enough power to challenge your rule. You also take on quests and conspiracies, including challenges that call for cunning rather than force.

Stories and characters

The kingdom is filled with eccentric characters, quirky subjects and convoluted plots. Its quests and narrative use dark humor, while your decisions lead the story in different directions, from outsmarting assassins to handling your wise but cunning advisors. The game features hand-crafted visuals depicting a brooding kingdom.
