The Chronicles of Overlord is a tactical RPG in development by Blind Archer Games, set in a dark fantasy world where players take the role of a resurrected Overlord.
The story follows a central conflict against the Devastator, a destructive force that can only be stopped by recovering four legendary artifacts, each guarded by rival rulers from different factions.
Humans, elves, orcs, and other races populate the setting, with lore and cutscenes designed to frame the rise of the Overlord and the struggle for dominance.
Combat is turn-based, built around positioning, terrain use, and the interplay of unit abilities. Heroes come with unique skill sets and progression paths, giving the player room to experiment with tactics and combinations, while the presence of artifacts shapes strategies and offers advantages in battle.
Visually, the game blends pixel art with modern lighting and effects to create a retro-styled but polished presentation. Spell animations, battlefields, and character sprites carry a familiar but updated look.
No release date has been announced for The Chronicles of Overlord, but a playable demo is available on Steam. Below are more details and the announcement trailer.
DETAILS ABOUT THE Game
The Chronicles of Overlord is a turn-based tactical RPG set in a fantasy world teeming with conflict between humans, elves, orcs, and other races.

To prevent catastrophe, he must claim four legendary artifacts, each guarded by the mightiest rulers of their respective factions.
