Lords of Ravage is a dark fantasy tactical RPG with roguelike elements.
Lead an army of followers as one of the Lords of Ravage. Play any way you like by combining minions from different factions and raze every kingdom in your path. Destroy the heroes that dare stand in your way in spectacular turn-based combat and conquer lands in search of an artifact that can change the fate of the world. Make your enemies tremble: be the final boss they must face!
Choose your tactics to enslave the land and crush your enemies. Strengthen your influence throughout the kingdoms by undermining their political and economic power. Bribe the nobility and fight mighty heroes with your endless hordes of minions. Do everything in your power to weaken your opponent before they have to face their final boss: you.
Decide what kind of minions you wish to summon: loyal warriors of the Dark Alliance, or mercenaries from the farthest reaches of the kingdom. Your influence and reputation will be reason enough to join for some, others will be tempted by the glimmer of gold. Combine warriors from different factions to consolidate their strengths and weaknesses. But your power doesn’t end there: you will have Orders and artifacts at your disposal. Use them wisely, and they will turn the tide in your favor.
Choose any of the three Lords and dive into their unique campaign with standout features, mechanics, and factions. The merciless Lord Berold, prodigy of forbidden magic Zavris, or Abyss demoness Azneya. Discover the darkness that dwells in their souls and what set them on the path to becoming the Lords of Ravage. Their success, and the price the world will pay for it, is up to you!
Fight a variety of enemies with unique mechanics. A classic adventuring party, a lone summoner, a warrior brotherhood, a military expedition... each with their strengths and exploitable weaknesses that dictate their behavior in combat.
To build up your power, you must replenish your treasury and acquire new magic powers. Raze and pillage enemy lands, and take their gold for yourself. Use that wealth to upgrade your warriors’ stats, or hire more of them. Gather your might by absorbing power from sources of magic, and discover the secret knowledge of Orders to aid your warriors in battle or stagger your enemies with curses.
Other Features:
Thought-out and engaging gameplay. Complete story campaigns for each of the Lords of Ravage and participate in tense turn-based clashes that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last move. Take charge of a minion army, combine warriors from different factions, and use powerful Orders to sway the battle in your favor.
Replayability. Over the course of your playthrough you will unlock new upgrades and minions. Each will open up a world of tactical possibilities on the battlefield. Try and study them all closely to discover powerful and creative approaches to crush your enemies!
Non-Linear Storytelling. The story can unfold in a number of ways, all shaped by your choices. Destroy kingdoms entirely, or manipulate relationships to sow chaos within the alliance of heroes.
Amazing Visuals. A visual style combining traditional pixel art with modern technology. Enjoy high-quality artwork, lighting, and VFX. A true feast for the eyes!

Lords of Ravage is partaking in the RPG Direct festival a week-long celebration for all RPG enthusiasts, running until May 28!
We invite you to check out our project, add the game to your wishlist, and join our community on Discord , where we share the latest news, answer questions, and post development updates.
Are you ready to lead the force of Darkness?
Meanwhile, we're done with Berold's faction! Let's welcome units from the Eldritch Cult faction!
We previously introduced you to Zavris. Once a revered sorceress and scholar, who has fallen into despair. Dedicated to studying the Forbidden Arts, she truly mastered the most vile forms of magic. Her fragile body hides a power beyond most mortals' reach, bolstered by the foul gods she worships.
Cult Leaders often use Agonists as personal bodyguards due to their ability to trick the victim's mind.
Those who seek forgiveness from their foul gods become Martyrs. Fully devoted to worship, they surrender all selfish desires.
Otherworldly creatures occupying a human vessel. Regarded as the gods' messengers, they whisper commands from the Beyond that only the faithful can hear.
Cult Evangelists spread the message of the Gods from Beyond to the masses. Skilled orators and manipulators, they take advantage of the neglected and downtrodden in this world.
Those who yearn for a purpose in their lives risk becoming Fanatics when recruited by the Cult. Their views are deemed too extreme even by their brothers and sisters in faith. Often favored by the patron god of their cult, there is truly no task beneath these wretches.
Raiders prefer to act swiftly and ruthlessly: breaking into enemy lines, they weaken their armor and sow panic among the ranks.
Skirmishers were widely used for ambushes during the Inquisition's war on the Cults. It is said that they spend a small portion of their soul to enchant each bolt they fire.
The Gods from Beyond shared vast knowledge forbidden by the Church. Ritualists study and utilize this dark insight, helping the Cult grow and prosper.
Ascended to a higher plane of existence, Visitors sometimes show erratic behavior that is unnerving to other cultists. Their power far surpasses that of a regular worshipper, but their actions make others hesitant to ascend if opportunity arises.
Some of the ascended cultists retain more of the humanity than others. When left alone, they can remain in a trance for a long time, earning them the title of Voidgazers.
Berold is the Lord Commander of the Dread Knights. His raw physical strength horrifies all but the most skilled of enemies. Ruthless and cunning, he feels confident both at the helm of his army and in the midst of battle.
- Black Guard is his loyal comrade. The Black Guards are tough fighters and skilled illusionists. They can affect the minds of their victims, causing horrific visions and controlling the flow of battle.
- The Dread Knights are the bulwark of Berolds forces, adept at both defense and offense. Cruel by nature, they revel in their opponents' fear, masterfully exploiting any weakness they can find.
- The Knight Slayer is the embodiment of destructive power, a nightmare clad in black steel. The ax in his hands carries his rage and ends a life with a single blow.
- Dread Knights gifted at both combat and tactics can become Knight Lieutenants. Keenly aware of their surroundings, they can give orders effectively while in the midst of combat.
- Quick and nimble, Knight Archers are often tasked with guarding the Orders fortifications. Not content with mastering bows and arrows, they use malignant curses that cause agonizing pain to their enemies.
- The Knight tactician is a true manipulator, and for whom the battlefield is but a chessboard. With a single gesture, sends his fighters on the offensive, while masterfully confusing the enemy with another.
- To become a Spellsword, one has to master both blade and magic, constantly searching for any flaws in the enemy's technique. These are the most versatile fighters the Dread Knights have.
- The battle mage's spells, like a storm, blow away everything in their path, leaving the enemy no chance. But the ones who survived the onslaught come out of it hardened and fierce.
- Only the most magically inclined of Dread Knights become Dark Priests. These masters of curses make their enemies truly regret being alive.
- Designed to dispell even the most powerful magic, Knight Enforcers provide excellent support to Dread Knight troops. They can remedy the side-effects of even the most extreme techniques used by the Knights.
Our Discord server has launched a series of publications dedicated to the game's factions and characters. In the next couple of weeks, we will introduce you to Lord Berold and his Dread Knights!
We invite everyone to join our community on Discord to stay up-to-date with the latest Lords of Ravage news. Do not miss out on useful information and game tips, and engage in discussions with fellow players!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1830320/Lords_of_Ravage/Hey, bad guys.
Whether we love it or hate it, randomness is fundamental to many games.
In some games, randomness feels like the invisible arbiter of a run outcome, and in others, it just adds a bit of spice to the game. But random is just one game design tool. It can solve a multitude of problems.
For example, in our initial testing, we found that the player had to constantly apply the same fighter skills every turn, and this made the gameplay very monotonous. In that game version, you could place any of your fighters, and that was the first mechanic we got rid of. After that, 3 units were chosen from the "deck" of reinforcements, one of which the player was offered to place on the battlefield. We tried to make it so that all units would be useful, but the player would prefer some combinations of units.
Yet, it did not completely solve the problem. So we abandoned the global ability system in favor of a new concept: Edicts. Players now have a global ability deck that gets used up as the battle progresses (but is restocked after the raid ends). This forces the player to make decisions on the fly.
It was important to us that every run was interesting, so we did our best to design the game so that strategy could be built on any aspect of it - Edicts, Troops or Leader. If the RNG Jesus feels generous in any of these areas - hurry up and take full advantage of it!
We also wanted to announce that from August 26-31 we are participating in the > Isometric sale < , where you can buy our first game at 85% off.

Hi Villains! Everyone! It's been a while!
Many games follow a lot of established tropes of the genre that are rarely questioned. In Lords of Ravage, we try to change some of the foundations of the Dungeon Crawler genre. For example, one of the main tropes is the squad of heroes that the player needs to take care of. But does it really have to be that way?
By thematically dedicating the game to villains, we opened the option to divide all fighters into followers, whose lives are expendable, and leaders. The latter are the titular Lords, extremely powerful characters whose deaths end the game. To emphasize the difference between Lords and followers, we gave the latter passive abilities that give bonuses when they die, encouraging the tactical sacrifice of units and highlighting their replaceable nature.
Since unit upgrades are a very important element of a Dungeon Crawler, we've made the upgrades affect unit classes. This means that the improvements apply to all units of a certain class in the army, including those that you will hire in the future. This way, we hope to provide an interesting, fresh take on the genre by changing some of its fundamentals.

[u]> PLAY DEMO! <[/u]
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1830320/Lords_of_Ravage/
Hi, Villains!
Sorry for the long delay between the dev diaries. With that kind of delay, you may wonder if the project is even alive. We are working hard behind the scenes and we've changed the game quite a lot since our last demo:
> UI/UX reworks.
The biggest issue in the old demo was the UI/UX, so that's what we're focusing on.
And we are working on improving and bringing the game to a quality and usable form.
> Lighting rework.
We've spent, a lot of time tweaking shaders, fog, and lighting to make the game as visually appealing as we can.
> Onboarding.
Oh boy, there are a lot of smaller systems in play! You've got combat, edicts, relics, and base building, which sounds fun but can result in one hell of a learning curve. So we're working on making these subsystems unlockable between runs to ease new players into the game.
> More powerful troops.
Compared to the old demo, your troops are way more powerful, at least early on. The average Dread Knight eats regular troops for breakfast. But your activity in the region will surely bring much more experienced troops and powerful heroes.
> Leader unit.
It is fun to have an Uber unit that is capable of winning an entire fight on its own. In the previous demo, Berold died to a bunch of armed peasants. The problem was his health pool and the enemy's damage. We've addressed both, making the Lord-Commander of Dread Knights pretty powerful while preventing him from being the "win button" due to his limited health regen and enemies designed to counter Leaders specifically.
The latter two are especially tricky and are subject to constant tweaks. Your leader needs to feel powerful, but not too powerful to the point of making the army focus non-viable.
