About This Game

Deliver Them From Darkness

Come to see what all this is about, have you? Right then, I'll fill you in. The Deadly Path is a thrilling building management and roguelike real-time strategy game. It's down to you to do some serious grovelling, gathering and building if you want to survive it. See, you're the Custodian, and you're in the bad books with the fearsome gods of the Dread Pantheon who you're trapped here with.

If you ever want to see the dim light of day again, you'll need to keep these Dread Deities sweet. And that means bringing about their rightful ascension...by whatever means necessary. 

Anyway, down here in this grimly fascinating fantasy underworld, you've got to flex your strategic muscles. The Deadly Path's got an easy-to-pick-up but tricky-to-master game loop; the gods aren't planning on making it easy for you.  

Still, it's not all stick and no carrot. You'll get to dote on different dastardly deities, construct wicked dungeon defences, and gather vital and vile materials. You know, for upgrades, sacrificial rituals, demonstrating your devotion, all the usual demonic deeds. 

As you expand your burgeoning empire of darkness, you'll usher in new eras of progress and help the Dread Pantheon out on their quest for revenge. Oh, and you get to micromanage a whole gamut of rancid but otherwise dutiful servants. Sounds fun, eh?

Here's some of the gritty details: 

  • An epic roster of demonic Dread Deities to prove yourself to, each with its own gameplay quirks, perks and victory conditions. 

  • Excavate a riveting range of Entombed Tiles as you expand your base. 

  • Construct unique buildings, boneyards and fabricators to bolster your stockpiles. 

  • Defend the Dread domain from attackers and other unseen threats with your servant army.

  • Advance through the Ages to unlock and uncover new tiles, loot, minions and possibilities. 

  • Gain the aid of the Custodians and wield the power of Charms.

  • Forge a powerful Idol to appease each of the Dread Deities as you toil in preparation for their ascension.

Manage all of that, and you might just make it through The Deadly Path in one piece.
