Lords of Nether
SteamNOTE: Lords of Nether is in an early state of development and will be undergoing many exciting changes and additions in the coming times! The contents presented in this page are not final and serve to show the baseline of where the game is headed! Expect far more to come in every way! A dark power returns to the ancient and blood-soaked world of Antioch, to claim what rightfully belongs to it and bring the world of Man to ruin! That power is you, my Netherlord!

Lords of Nether is a Dungeon Management Game that blends Real-Time Strategy and God Game elements to create a new and more involved take on the genre. You may control your creatures directly in typical RTS fashion, allowing for complex combat strategy and management. You can manage space efficiently and creatively, through the use furnishings and other building tools. Taking control of the villain, one of four powerful, dark demigods known as Netherlords, you return to the world after centuries of banishment with the singular purpose of bringing it to heel under your control. Immerse yourself in a deep, storied world of Dark Fantasy and bring it all to ruin!

You will carve out and build vast, intricate and deadly underground dungeons, where you will gather minions to your cause, research new magics and knowledge and build devious trap gauntlets to protect yourself from invading heroes.

You will grow and be able to directly control an army of fiendish, living, thinking creatures, a vast menagerie ranging from cowardly goblins to terrifying, blood-thirsty demons. You will need to provide them with necessities and comforts and make sure they grow strong, so that they may turn your enemies into gory heaps.

As any self respecting Dark Lord, you will find wretched heroes at your doorstep, seeking to undo your sinister plans and put an end to your evil. Show them just how misguided they really are, Lord.
Explore a multitude of different planned game-modes:
Embark on an epic Single-player campaign to conquer the ancient world of Antioch! The mighty Empire of Ostoria stands in your way to world domination and it's monarch, the great King Albrecht will do anything to stop you! Travel distant lands, from great rural plains, through scorching deserts and frigid mountain slopes, to the very heartland of the Empire and crush all that stands in your way! Take your armies from the underground to the very world above and reduce it to a burning ruin! This world belongs to you, Netherlord!
