Solium Infernum

Very good, very interesting world, fixes the most egregious balance problems of the original game (it still feels wildly unfair at times but in more of a mean-spirited and devious way you can learn and adapt to than in the sense of "wow they really didn't think this through" kind of way. The infernal political system feels very well written and almost (for lack of a better word), authentic. (yes I know Paradise Lost is fanfic). That is, it kind of sells you on how it's supposed to work and how boundlessly evil beings who don't trust each other and are constantly at each other's throats still manage to strike a balance between infighting and working together. Because you're (in theory) all supposed to be at war with the almighty, there are strict rules in place to limit infighting to tributary-extortion and the occasional skirmish over just who should be extorting who. But it's kind of a funny reverse-Game-of-Thrones scenario where the status quo is preserved because if you ever STOP fighting amongst yourselves and unite against your common enemy, you'll get smited and everyone's understandably scared crapless of running out of excuses not to fight God. Gameplay wise, it works a…

Incredibly original board game. Hail Satan!

Slow and Boring not my cup of tea, BUT the art is AMAZING really fantastic work

Clever game.

Okay, after playing this game A LOT, i must say that it is one of the greatest strategies i have ever played. Theme? Preserved very well, is consistent and visible everywhere. Graphics are great. One thing i miss is some kind of mystery around lucifer/satan (the original ruler) that we get clues to on the cards or descriptions. But that's just flavor. Community? Competetive, experienced, creative and mostly welcoming, while not an ideal company for a beginner, one can truly learn quickly what it means to make a name for yourself in Hell. Sadly for now we don't have that many players so you can get a game every hour of every day, but join the official discord and there will be plenty of occasions to make heads roll. Strategy-wise? Complicated, unforgiving, tricky. I have over 200 hours, mostly multiplayer, and i still believe i don't know certain small elements. What about different ways of play? While every game is different and you can choose from many different boosts called relicts before the game starts, as well as pick different archfiends, you may end up doing almost exactly the same some games. I wish archfiend abilities were more impactful. I wouldn't say it becomes bor…

Yeah this is pretty good. Like a Civ's game lite. Quick, not so easy to pick up. The tutorial doesn't really tell you the nuance of each archfiend and their respective campaigns do't necessarily hand hold you through their play styles, there is a snippet here and there that will hint at it, but it's largely up to you to figure it out. That's okay though, it's stylish, art is gorgeous, and it's fun. Easy 30 dollar drop.
