Arise Dark Lord is the next game from Introversion Software, makers of The Last Starship

From Press Release:

You are The Dark Lord. Your evil aim:  To raise an undead army and crush the feckless, godless, heathen humans. As your sorcery and army grow, all the world will rise up to destroy your Dark Tower and end your reign of terror.  Fortify your dark realm, enhance your sorcery, and build enough strength to march out and crush the humans once and for all.

An action-strategy hybrid RTS, blending tower defence, base building and direct control of your Dark Lord avatar. 

While The Last Starship goes from strength to strength, Chris has been quietly working away on a the secret Arise prototype.  We are fully committed to The Last Starship roadmap, and we’re very much enjoying having TWO games in development at once, for the first time in our history

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.

Our prototype is available now, for all to play on itch!
