Undead Fox Studio and LTG Publishing are happy to announce the full release of their infernal project, Dark Lord. In this narrative card-based roguelike RPG, players will embark on an adventure-driven story about the enigmatic Dark Lord, putting their strategic skills to the test while developing and ruling their realm.
The full version includes a powerful UGC editor, enabling players to create and share their own stories with the community, adding a new layer of creativity and engagement.
Throughout their quest, players will need to make numerous decisions, and then experience the consequences; what’s more, they can also share their journey with their friends. Will they rule with an iron fist, tap into their cunning nature to survive, fortify their borders, or strike a balance between political intrigues and military might?
Dark Lord is completely free to play. Players will have access to the main story campaign and the full functionality of the custom story editor, including stories created by other players. The publisher’s goal is to inspire as many users as possible to start creating their own stories and unleash their creativity. The only monetization is through the “Thank You, Developers” DLC, which provides small backstories of the various Shady Advisors found in the game.
“We’ve spent the past few months gathering invaluable feedback from our demo release, and we’ve made significant improvements with a strong focus on the UGC editor, allowing players to unleash their creativity and shape their own adventures,” commented Alex Stetsiuk, CEO of Undead Fox.
