Dark Deity

Dark Deity is a turn-based tactical RPG developed by Sword & Axe LLC and published by Freedom Games, released on Steam on June 15, 2021 and on Nintendo Switch on March 17, 2022. Set on the war-torn continent of Terrazael, players lead a company of 30 voiced heroes through 28 hand-crafted chapters to restore a land fractured by broken oaths, reckless wars, and untamed arcane magic. Combat blends classic Fire Emblem-style grid tactics with a six-class-tree promotion system, physical weapons and spells split into four damage archetypes (power, finesse, focus, balance), the Mastery skill, an advantage armor-type system, and deep character relationships and weapon upgrading.

• Six Class Trees & 30 Heroes: Command 30 voiced, playable characters across six class trees (Warrior, Ranger, Rogue, Mage, Cleric, Adept), each tree containing 9 classes, one Tier 1, four Tier 2, and four Tier 3, letting every character promote along distinct combat paths.
• 28 Hand-Crafted Chapters: Fight through 28 turn-based combat scenarios as rookie recruits grow into battle-hardened veterans, with objectives that range from survive-and-escort to full-on assaults and defense.
• Four Weapon Damage Archetypes: Weapons and spells split into power (direct damage), finesse (critical chance), focus (accuracy), and balance (light weight and flexibility) types.
• Advantage Armor System: Damage effectiveness is governed by the Advantage System, where every damage type is stronger against two armor types and weaker against two others, with the Mastery skill pushing matchups toward neutral.
• Weapon Upgrading & Tokens: Spend tokens at the base to level weapons and raise stats, available starting in Chapter 3, letting players invest in their favorite iconic armaments.
• Personal Skills: Every hero has a unique personal skill that only they possess, from stat guarantees and XP sharing to damage and crit modifiers.
• Character Bonds & Relationships: Manage hero relationships and form bonds between characters as they battle together, shaping the evolving roster of legends.
• Terrazael World Map: Travel across the six kingdoms and regions of Terrazael (Aramor, Delia, Etlan, Kharmont, Neullais, and Verroa) between chapters.
