After over three years in early access, Rising Lords has officially launched with a simultaneous release for PC, Xbox, and on the Nintendo Switch. The game is the first large title from indie developers Argonwood.
The game mixes turn-based strategy with cards and board game mechanics. As a lord, you will have to balance economy and warfare, taking care of the needs of your people as well as defending them from hostile forces. But aside from that, you’ll have to prepare for random events lest they dictate your fate. The game also features leader customization, 4-player simultaneous multiplayer, and even modding support for the community.
Rising Lords is now fully available on Steam, Xbox, and on the Nintendo Switch.
About Rising Lords
Description
Rising Lords is a medieval turn-based strategy game with card and board game elements. Send your serfs to fight and die in your name… or let them prosper, and use them to your advantage!
Rule
Collect taxes and resources. Dictate rations and field work. Forge weapons, raise armies, and build mighty fortified cities. Help your people become knights, or dump them on a battlefield far away, but be careful: even the most humble peasants will revolt eventually and an unlucky event card can change the fate of your realm quickly…
Scheme
Be ready to expand your realm or defend your provinces! Relationships with other Lords are a fickle thing and you will find yourself on the battlefield sooner or later. Raise a well-rounded army, give yourself an edge through a card-based skill system and engage your enemies in mortal combat in highly tactical, grid- and turn-based encounters!
Conquer
In addition to its campaign mode, Rising Lords features robust multiplayer functionality. Play a quick game, or settle in for an evening or more. Play mind games with your friends with Rising Lords’ special figures and spread false infos. Let them pay for their insolence in questioning your right to rule!
