00:00What if you could become Sauron instead of joining a lame party to destroy a Golden Ring?
00:04Sounds perfect to you?
00:05Then you have to check out this new game.
00:07The developers who made the super popular Prison Architect are working on a new action real-time strategy game called
00:13Arise Dark Lord.
00:14And it basically lets you play as the ultimate final boss.
00:17You actually take direct control of an evil overlord on a Lord of the Rings style map.
00:22Every time you kill human soldiers, you gain mana to unleash devastating sorcery,
00:26raze their corpses into your zombie army, and corrupt peaceful forests into fortified strongholds.
00:31But as your evil grows, all human civilization unites to march on your Dark Tower.
00:36So you have to defend your base with cursed traps, siege weapons, and upgrade your spellbook by sacking their cities.
00:43The full release isn't until 2027, but there's a surprise for you.
00:46They already put a playable prototype up that you can find on itch.io.
00:50So if you've ever rooted for the bad guy, this one's for you.
00:53Are you playing this when it drops, or are you staying on the hero side?
00:56Let me know below, and follow for more hidden indie gems.
