The creators of the hell-based Agony series are starting their efforts to make a real-time strategy title in the series. Madmind Studio has released an official gameplay trailer for Agony: Lords of Hell which was the official kick-off to the game’s Kickstarter page.
The premise of the game is not unlike other RTS titles out there either, but they do take place within the underworld. There are four different visions of Hell from the world's four major religions fighting to control the hellish grounds. Choose your Lord and become the ruler of the underworld!
With a few successful titles behind them, they wanted to answer the question - “Why a Kickstarter?”
“For Madmind Studio, Kickstarter has a special place in the company's history. In Agony: Lords of Hell, our ambition is to do the impossible – to create not one but four other worlds that describe the world's largest, most popular religions. Completely different visions of Hell, found in the holy books of individual religions, will require the preparation of many assets, unique mechanics for each fraction, dozens of new characters, and beautiful scenery. So, to achieve our vision, we would appreciate your support.
Thanks to the Kickstarter campaign, we will not only be able to fulfill our ambitious plans but also enable players to decide how big and extensive the Agony Lords of Hell project will be. The game is powered by Unreal Engine 5, supporting all the latest technologies, including the destruction of the environment based on the "Chaos" technology, a dynamic day and night system, the Niagara system, and many more.”
Agony: Lords of Hell’s Kickstarter is live now with plenty of different reward tiers to choose from. Starting at ‘The Player’ reward tier, funders can even be given access to an exclusive early-access demo. Following the Kickstarter, the game is planned to launch on PC via Steam.
