In the world of Sorcerer King everything is terrible

Evil will always triumph because good is dumb

This turn-based fantasy/strategy with city-building elements is super enjoyable. Even in Steam Early Access, it’s got a surprising amount of polish, more so than several AAA games I can think of. I have encountered no gamebreaking bugs, and the main problems right now seem to be stat balance and unimplemented art.

If you enjoyed the RPG elements of Heroes of Might and Magic and the city-building of Civilization, there’s a lot to like in this game’s eclectic blend of gameplay. However, if turn-based gameplay isn’t really your thing, Steam’s $39.99 price tag may be a bit too steep.
