Hundreds of fully-voiced, unique encounters await adventurers looking to find fortune in The Bazaar.

Master the meta or make your own.

$\"Build$

Choose from an expanding roster of heroes, each with their own distinct play-style, over 100 unique items, and an ever-growing catalog of content.

There’s more to the Bazaar than combat! Each hero has their own journey, and you’ll meet a sprawling cast of memorable characters along the way, from friendly merchants to robot revolutionaries to powerful entities with motives unknown–all fully voiced in a rich and atmospheric environment. The Bazaar is a surreal crossroads of magic, machines, and ancient secrets, a high-tech fantasy world packed with deep lore that you’ll uncover one run at a time.

Gameplay

Echoes of the Architects is a real-time strategy game that rewards creativity, strategic depth, and adaptability. Victory lies in your ability to design and deploy customizable, programmable units to dominate the battlefield.

At its heart is a robust unit customization system, letting you build armies tailored to your playstyle. Combine modules like locomotion systems, weapons, and repair tools, and define your units’ roles—whether gathering resources, defending key points, or executing precision strikes to outflank enemies.

Battles are fast-paced and dynamic, demanding sharp strategic thinking and quick adaptation. With programmable units capable of executing complex maneuvers autonomously, you can focus on your tactics rather than high actions-per-minute gameplay.

As you advance, unlock new modules, unit classes, and tactical options, continuously evolving your forces. Explore diverse planets, each with unique environments and challenges, as you expand the fight across the galaxy.

In Echoes of the Architects, every decision matters. Success depends on how you configure your army, time your deployments, and outmaneuver your opponents in the relentless chaos of war.

Story

The galaxy was ours to conquer—or so we believed. In our unyielding quest for dominance, humanity delved too deeply into the void, awakening a force beyond comprehension: the Architects. Silent, enigmatic, and devastatingly efficient, they seized our greatest creations—turning humanity’s own advanced technologies into instruments of annihilation. Entire worlds fell in mere moments, their skies darkened by the machines we once called progress.

Now, you stand as one of the last sparks of resistance, seeking shelter on a scarred and broken Earth—a planet consumed by the wars and greed of its past. With only the remnants of human ingenuity at your disposal, you command the battlefield from a distance, deploying what’s left of our scattered forces. Every battle is a desperate gamble, a flicker of hope against the Architects’ impenetrable grip.

But there’s something more—whispers buried deep in the ruins of our shattered worlds. Clues that hint at the true nature of the Architects, their purpose, and why they were waiting for us to awaken them. Understanding them might be the key to victory—or a revelation too dangerous to confront.

This is our last chance to reclaim the galaxy, dismantle the Architects’ empire, and unearth the secrets of their origin. The final war begins, and humanity’s fate rests in your hands.

Satan's mysteriously vanished and Hell is in an uproar. Play as one of eight all-powerful and menacing Archfiends and indulge your Machiavellian dark side. Command legions, enlist champions, cast sinister rituals, and trick, rob, and insult your rivals to be crowned Hell’s new Dark Majesty.

Experience Solium Infernum's legendary devilish political machinations. Requiring nerves of steel and a true heart of darkness, every order you give will have lasting consequences. Get into the minds of your rivals, second-guessing their every move both on the map and on the floor of Hell’s parliament as you sling insults and demands in the only truly political strategy game.

Eight playable Archfiends
Eight single-player Chronicles
Single-player Skirmish mode
Revelations Tutorial Scenario
Sessional and Asynchronous 2-6 player Multiplayer
Dozens of Infernal Legions, including unique enormous Titans.
Champion Praetors and dark Artifacts fit for any Archfiend!

Play 2-6 player multiplayer games with your soon-to-be ex-friends in a single session of deceit and politics, or put your friendships to the test in quick daily bursts with Solium Infernum’s infamous asynchronous multiplayer for a truly harrowing scheme-in-your-sleep experience.

If you love dark art, you’re in the right place. Brimming with striking visions of Hell unlike anything you’ve seen before, Solium Infernum is an infernal feast for the eyes with multitudes of individual dark paintings to enjoy. Every item of the game is accompanied by mind-blasting artwork, a feat declaring Solium Infernum a winner of the 2022 Game Makers Sketchbook.

Originally inspired by Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost, League of Geeks’ (known for seminal digital board game Armello) sophomore title is a re-imagining and modernisation of Vic Davis’ critically acclaimed cult-classic of the same name, hailed as a masterpiece of strategy game design.

Once again, prepare to lose yourself within ‘the cold glory of a difficult decision’ as we resurrect Solium Infernum from the depths of Hell.

Note: The following quotes refer to the original Solium Infernum (2009) by Vic Davis.

“Solium Infernum is a political wargame set in hell… The game is now finished, and none of the friends survived. By which I mean, we all hate each other now.”
- Rock Paper Shotgun

“It’s a game about playing other people, in both senses of the word…. This is game design based on psychology as much as rules.”
- Quarter to Three

“More than any game I've played in years, Solium Infernum nails the sensation of staring at a screen and losing yourself in the cold glory of a difficult decision.”
- Game Developer (formerly Gamasutra)

“Solium Infernum kicked my knees out from under me ... this game took my past experience with strategy games and threw it, like a pro basketball player, into a bin eighty feet away.”
- Eurogamer

“One of the best games of the year.”

your backpack! Buy rare and legendary items and organize them to make powerful builds. Then battle other players with it!

In Backpack Battles, you fight with your backpack full of items. It matters what you buy, and especially how you place it! The smarter you place your items, the stronger you will be!

Items come in different shapes, sizes, prices, and rarities. Combine them into even stronger equipment.
Brew a powerful potion, craft a legendary weapon, or hatch a dragon friend!

You play against real builds of other players. See what they came up with, and counter them.
See how good you are in Ranked mode! Or have a relaxing time in Casual mode.
In both cases, take your time, as there are no timers at all!

Choose a class depending on your play style. Do you want heavy crits or poison damage over time?
