Press release:
[San Francisco] June 7th – The God of Death is coming to Terrazael. Revealed today during the IGN Live Indie Loop showcase, Dark Deity 3 brings the acclaimed tactical RPG series to its dramatic conclusion. Developed by Sword & Axe LLC and published by indie.io, the strategy RPG sends players on a desperate race against time as death cults spread across the land and threaten to bring about the end of the world.

The Eternal Order stands once again as the last line of defense against total collapse. As death cults spread across Terrazael, players will lead two armies across the living world and the afterlife, uncovering ancient secrets and battling to prevent an approaching apocalypse.

Dark Deity 3 follows Gwyn and Arthur Sildairan, heirs to the Eternal Order, as they lead separate campaigns against a growing darkness. Gwyn commands a military force tasked with rooting out death cults spreading throughout Terrazael, while Arthur leads a group of scholars into the afterlife to uncover the truth behind the gods themselves. Their journeys will ultimately shape the fate of the world.

Building on the strategic depth and player freedom that defined previous entries in the series, Dark Deity 3 offers an expansive tactical RPG sandbox filled with meaningful choices, army-building opportunities, and extensive replayability. Players can recruit 28 unique units, experiment with 74 classes, discover over 100 weapons, and create powerful combinations using more than 60 build-defining rings.
