Arise Dark Lord
You are The Dark Lord.
Raise an evil army, and crush the race of men.
An action-strategy hybrid RTS, blending tower defence, base building and
direct control of your Dark Lord avatar.
You are The Dark Lord, and your goal is to raise an undead army and crush
the feckless, godless heathens known as humans.
As your sorcery and your evil army grow, all of the world will rise up against you
to destroy your Dark Tower and end your reign of terror.
Fortify your dark realm, upgrade your sorcery, and build enough strength
to march out and crush the humans once and for all.
Introversion Software are the BAFTA and IGF award winning developers of
seven indie videogames, including Prison Architect, DEFCON, Darwinia, and
The Last Starship. Arise Dark Lord is in early development, and is due for release
sometime in 2027.

Looks great, always a fan of hundred of little guys doing stuff!
Oh me too!
Nice game I do enjoy the mechanics but tutorial is a bit slow to get going. Interested in a full release :)
I like it. It really cool to raise enemies to get different types of units.
Maybe i just prefer a different pacing but its feels a bit slow and clunky? You slowly walk across a big map. Sometimes a ton of units stands around a village and only some attack.
But overall I had my fun and played through the entire Demo.
Just wait until you get the winged fell beast
Hi!
I got this error when running it:
Error
The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross-Origin Isolation - Check that the web server configuration sends the correct headers.
SharedArrayBuffer - Check that the web server configuration sends the correct headers.
How strange! Could you tell me what browser and version you are using?
Amazing game with a lot of promise and a really active development, had a lot of fun trying different runs and can't wait to see what the dev has teased in the discord server for the full release.
