Turn-based sandbox RPG against the Black Death

Plague Lords is a tactical turn-based sandbox role-playing game that combines the elements of city building, exploration, survival and tower defense. Thematically, the title is set in the late Middle Ages of the 14th century, at the time of the plague, which plays a crucial role as a danger in the game.

Each resident of the settlement comes with their own attributes and skills. These have to be combined with hundreds of objects and dozens of buildings with a wide variety of purposes, traps and other tricks in order to get to the bottom of the infection process. The order of the day is to set up a powerful army. According to the description on Steam, the features of the game include the following:

  • The open sandbox world can be freely explored and regenerates with each run.
  • The day and night cycle directly affects gameplay.
  • Abandoned cities, farms, monasteries, forts and other unique locations are ready to be explored.
  • Collect loot, find other survivors or interesting events while exploring abandoned towns and farms.
  • As the story progresses, your small camp will level up to other types of settlements.
  • 40 different buildings provide your settlement with everything you need for protection and development.
  • Build fences, walls, barricades and set traps to defend against the plague’s invasion.
  • 30 professions from farmer and lumberjack to engineer and commander.
  • You lose characters forever due to injury, infection, or mortal wounds.
  • Infected characters gain unprecedented benefits, but can turn and attack at any time.
  • Characters must eat, drink, and sometimes sleep to restore their morale and strength.
