Games Like Plague Lords

Plague Lords is a turn-based tactical RPG set in an open world, featuring settlement building, exploration, and survival elements.

Welcome to the mid-14th century! The Black Death is at its peak, and entire cities are deserted and dying. A scout squad is sent to find a missing noble, turning their investigation into a new, strange infection. The few survivors hide in the ruins of cities and monasteries, awaiting their inevitable fate. Scouts must turn frightened townsfolk into an army capable of resisting and uncover the reasons behind the mysterious epidemic.

Train leaders, specialists, and warriors. Warriors aren't recruited in barracks for gold but are leveled up through battles. However, remember that you lose characters permanently due to injuries, infections, or fatal wounds. Losing each one is a tangible blow to the settlement's safety. Each character can wield a construction hammer, bow, or heavy sword, but only if their skills allow it. They can learn as many skills as their intellect allows. Some work in the fields, while others lead warriors in battle or construct fortifications.

Develop your base and craft equipment. The plague has put an end to trade and science, but you can always rely on your builders and craftsmen. Develop their skills and learn to construct dozens of different buildings to create equipment and weapons that will help you survive. You start with a small tent camp, but over time, the city will grow and develop into a real town with walls, numerous production buildings, and defensive structures.
