While the demo is just a taste of Conquest Dark’s sword & sorcery combat, the full version of the game that will hit Early Access in April features:
- Master the Dark Rituals - Venture into haunting environments where cosmic horror meets primal savagery. Choose your path from legendary classes like the untamed Barbarians of the Lion, the divine Oathkeepers, or the mysterious Acolytes of Kuu, each mastering unique powers against the darkness.
- Instant Action RPG Gratification - Unlock your power fantasy through intense Rritual runs. Begin as a feeble grunt and discover devastating builds as you progress. Every Rritual delivers the satisfying progression curve of an ARPG in concentrated form, each run bringing you closer to legend status.
- Forge Godslaying Builds - Discover eldritch abilities, equip legendary armor, and wield unique weapons from fallen champions. Enhance your arsenal and craft builds worthy of slaying gods. Theory-craft your way to godhood with deep customization and endless possibilities.
- Conquer The Darkness - Battle through diverse environments filled with unique challenges and fearsome mini-bosses. Face deadly creatures, undead armies, and fallen heroes in your quest to uncover the secrets of The Black Planet.
- Savage Sword & Sorcery - Experience a brutal realm of sword & sorcery inspired by the greatest dark fantasy classics of old. Ancient powers and cosmic horrors lurk in every cursed ruin and fallen kingdom.
