Dominion of Darkness
"Dominion of Darkness” is a RPG/strategy narrative focused game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new. Feedback is very much welcome. Very, very much.
Maybe You played in my other game with the same premise - "Malefactor". I want You to know, that "Malefactor" was just a demo. This version is much much more elaborate, with more content and mechanics.
