Dark Deity (2021)

Step into the world of Terrazael and lead soon-to-be legendary heroes in a quest to restore a land fractured by broken oaths, reckless wars, and untamed magic. Fight back in turn-based battles, manage character relationships, collect dangerous artifacts, and hopefully restore the world…

Dark Deity is a tactical RPG set in the fantasy world of Terrazael. The world has been ravaged by war and magical disasters and is ruled by petty kings who wage fruitless wars. The game has 28 chapters where the player takes the role of a team of four students from the Brookstead Military Academy, who are shut down on the mysterious orders of King Varic. The goal is to lead this team to rise to become legendary heroes from a pile of raw recruits. The combat is turn-based and has over 30 playable characters, each with their own backstory, personality, and motivations. The player is presented with an opportunity to train and pick from 54 distinct classes, each with their own iconic attacks and skills. The game also boasts a relationship system where the characters bond together on the battlefield through 400 individual conversations. Despite the danger, the player can protect their team against enemy attacks and world-ending magic by outfitting them with hundreds of weapons and spells. Although defeat does not mean permadeath, a grave wound, a stat penalty, and weakening your squad are consequences. Will you, as the head of this unlikely band of heroes, be able to make a difference in this seemingly hopeless world?
