The player takes the role of an evil wizard who seeks the powers of destruction. Explore the world, kill villagers and burn their homes. Build your own dungeon, set traps and prepare for an assault of furious heroes. The game turns into a roguelike with turn-based combat when you control your minions, adventure around the world and assault other dungeons. Master up to 10 unique factions and their respective keepers. Play as a Dark Wizard, a Necromancer, or a Goblin King, for example. Your chosen faction will impact gameplay and the style of your dungeon.(Storyline via IGDB)
