News: Turn-based tactical RPG Dark Deity 2 is now available on Steam
Tactical Strategy RPG
Dark Deity 2
developed by Sword & Axe and published by independent publishing platform
indie.io
arrived on Steam for PC. The game is also fully Steam Deck verified.
The sequel expands on everything fans loved about the original Dark Deity while introducing deeper customization, refined
tactical combat, and a brand-new cast of heroes.
In Dark Deity 2 players will step into a land on the brink of war, rally their forces, and shape the future of Verroa one turn at a time. The Asverellian Empire seeks to expand - at your homeland’s expense. Command unlikely heroes, fight challenging turn-based battles, and watch hardship forge iron into steel. Dark Deity is back, bigger and better than before.
While Dark Deity 2 preserves the core that made the original special-turn-based tactical battles with meaningful choices-it
introduces a range of systems that take player agency to the next level. From cosmic mages and crocodile-summoning wardens
to noble knights and blood-soaked cultists, the game offers a wildly diverse class lineup.
With 20 legendary heroes, 45 branching classes, and deep build customization, players can experiment with powerful combinations
of passives, gear, and abilities-reshaping their units’ roles on the battlefield and unlocking tactical possibilities that reward
creativity and replayability.
Combat in Dark Deity 2 is shaped by a reworked ability system from Dark Diety that redefines how characters engage in battle.
With passives, abilities, and enhancement tools like runes and rings, every unit can be tailored to fill a unique role or push
the boundaries of traditional tactics.
Building a team is no longer just about assigning roles-it’s about discovering synergy, managing toolkits, and making choices
that ripple across each encounter. This depth of customization and tactical expression offers high replayability across a spectrum
of builds and playstyles.
The campaign customization suite-originally inspired by community-made randomizers-gives players extensive control over how their story unfolds. Recruitment order, XP, stats, gold, and more can be finely tuned, allowing for tailored difficulty, narrative pacing, and strategic challenge across multiple playthroughs.
At the heart of the story are Gwyn and Riordian, descendants of Irving and key figures in Verroa’s defense. As leaders of the newly formed Eternal Delegation, they must navigate political tension, forge difficult alliances, and carry the weight of their legacy as the Holy Asverellian Empire marches to war. Every decision-on and off the battlefield-shapes the course of the story and the fate of their homeland.
Players can now build their army, master their tactics, and forge their legacy in Dark Deity 2 on Steam for PC and Steam Deck for mobile gaming sessions.
