Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Dark Deity returns with more strategy RPG goodness and adventure as the world of Terrazael faces its greatest threat yet.
The God of Death is coming, and time is running out. Death cults are spreading across the land, and only the Eternal Order stands between the world and total collapse. Lead two armies in a desperate race against time as they fight to uncover the truth and stop the coming storm. With a sweeping story that spans nations, continents, and even the afterlife itself, Dark Deity III brings a daring conclusion to the trilogy.
Two Armies, One War
Take control of Gwyn and Arthur Sildairan, heirs to the Eternal Order, as they lead two armies on converging paths in a war that spans worlds. Gwyn commands a military force to root out death cults across the living world, while Arthur leads a group of scholars into the afterlife to investigate the gods themselves.
Rally a cast of characters, both new and returning, as you fight on two fronts and lead these forces into a battle that will decide the fate of Terrazael.
Tactical Combat and Army Strategy
Engage in challenging grid-based tactical battles where positioning, abilities, and planning determine victory.
Use your units’ active abilities to:
- Heal and sustain your forces.
- Control the battlefield.
- Break through enemy lines.
- Accelerate your army’s growth.
Balancing unit progression with mission success is key and more rewarding than ever! Managing your army’s morale is just as critical as winning the battle itself. A confident force can push forward with strength, while a struggling army must rely on its most resilient fighters to hold the line.
