The Chronicles of Overlord is a turn-based tactical RPG set in a fantasy world teeming with conflict between humans, elves, orcs, and other races. It’s due for release on Steam soon, and developer Blind Archer Games has announced a new demo that will whet the appetites of gamers fond of classic pixel art fantasy titles who enjoy strategy and mythical settings.
The story in The Chronicles of Overlord couldn’t be more of a fantasy classic. As an ancient evil known as the Devastator threatens to engulf the world, only the Overlord, a resurrected master of necromantic power, is aware of the impending doom. To prevent catastrophe, he must claim four legendary artifacts, each guarded by the mightiest rulers of their respective factions.
In a press statement, the solo dev behind Blind Archer Games said. “I’m thrilled to share The Chronicles of Overlord, a new turn-based strategy game in a pixel art style in a fantasy world, now available as a free demo on Steam! We’d love for you to dive in and share your impressions with your audience. The demo features several playable levels, core mechanics, spells, tactical battles, immersive cutscenes, inventory management, dialogues, and more, offering a deep look into the world we’re building.”
