DR4X is a fast paced dark fantasy turn based strategy game with horror and cosmic horror elements.
The game has simple, fun, fast paced, and dynamic gameplay where each type of faction uses different resources and completely unique playstyles.

Play in an evolving world, filling up with horrors and monsters if you don’t try to stop their spread, unique events and so on.
It also has a very reactive world map and an in depth skirmish creator. With multiple possible game modes based on your choices.




Research powerful stacking technologies to dominate your enemies, or let the other factions and even the nearby gremlin horde learn how to cause more trouble for you with their own technologies.


Do you want to fight other empires? Or perhaps just defeat the monsters infesting the realm. Or maybe even be the monsters infesting the realm! It is your choice!

When it is ready for beta I will be releasing it on Steam in a sort of early access. If you are interested follow this page and my twitter.
