Solium Infernum
Take the Infernal Throne in this hellish turn-based grand strategy game. The Prince of Darkness has vanished, leaving Archfiends to conspire: muster your legions while intoning dark sorceries, devilish schemes, and machiavellian plots. Who will be the new ruler of Hell and ascend the Throne?

“I slept on this game, I should've played it sooner. Having enjoyed playing Civ 5 and Rise of Naitons but loathing the agressive gameplay they encourage, I've found Solium much more my pace, player interaction happens…”

“I think this is a must-play for 4x fans. Unfortunately, the player base is rather sparse, but thanks to the asynchronus game mode you can still find a game to play in rather easily. There's also communities of players…”
“You can stink it up with your friends fightning over who gets to rule hell and its magnificent. Game is tons of fun! A bit of a learning curve at first as not everything is outlined in detail”

“This is an excellent game. Very unique take on grand strategy. The map LOOKS like Civilization (in a Hellish theme), but the gameplay operates very differently. Balance armies, resources, magic use, initiative gain,…”
“Biggest production quality to gameplay quality ratio of any game I've ever played on Steam, I think. Its missing that zest. That spice. That actual layer of scheming that means you can counter things intelligently like…”
“Every single move you make can be strategically done if you're good enough, while not being overly complicated and having an awesome aesthetic!”

“Are you tired of the regurgitated spew that passes off as a strategy game these days? This is something not just new, but refreshing, yet definitely not meant for the masses. This is for strategy junkies, both the elite…”

“Have played a few games now and it is fantastic. A fair bit to learn but soon becomes engrossing. So much to think about, you have to plan a few turns in advance. If you like strategy games this one is for you”

“Stylish and unique, but that is pretty much all it has going for it. None of what I am about to say would have mattered if the game had a solid single-player mode with AI that would have been engaging and fun to beat,…”

“Seriously good. So good. I only wish there was more single player content but I get that it's a smallish team. I get a smidge anxious being so awful to real people I don't know lol but the computer players deserve it!”

“Most strategy games treat diplomacy as a convenience or after thought. You build an army, attack, and if diplomacy exists at all, it's a side feature you can safely ignore. Solium Infernum flips that completely. Diplomacy is the battlefield, and your army is just an instrument…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“My Friends and I were hooked, but affter having played a few games they don't talk to me anymore 11/10 But seriously this game is really really good. There's an excellent depth to the mechanics, and there is rarely a situation in the game that cannot be escaped through clever…”
— a player, Steam review · 336 hrs played“I love this game, it's absolutely incredible and a wonderful tribute to a weird quirky digital boardgame from years gone by. The art, the music, everything is superb. But it has literal game breaking bugs that cannot be avoided and will brick your run. Pray that your Prophecy…”
