What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to use Early Access as a way to build a community around the game and gather feedback and ideas that will directly influence its development and final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently plan for the game to remain in Early Access until Q4 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version to feature more content, including new items, enemies, equipment, endings, dungeon themes, and multiplayer. We also plan to expand and refine the game based on feedback from the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of the game allows you to create a fully customized character with a variety of starting classes and professions (which are separate systems and provide additional stat modifiers). Players can explore endless, procedurally generated dungeons that are different with every playthrough, filled with enemies, loot, and randomized events.

There are already multiple endings available, depending on the choices you make throughout your run. The game currently supports a wide range of combat playstyles, including melee, magic, ranged weapons, and more.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to slightly increase the price upon full release to reflect the additional content and improvements that will be added during development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is crucial and is the main reason we are launching in Early Access. Players will be able to share their feedback, suggestions, and bug reports through the game’s official Steam discussion page, which we will be monitoring regularly throughout development.”

About This Game

One day, you awake to find the warmth of your human body and flesh gone, replaced with cold bone. Your memory is a blur of vague glimpses of humanity. You find yourself in a strange, eldritch realm. You have become a Lich, and now you're in an endless cycle where Liches fight to the death for supremacy, until only one remains - the "Lich Lord" - only for the cycle to begin again...

Lich Lords is a dark fantasy ARPG dungeon crawler set in a purgatory-like realm, where an eternal struggle rages among the undead. Countless Lich battle for dominance, seeking to ascend to the ultimate status of Lich Lord, ruler of the dimension.

As one of many aspiring Lich, you must descend into the deepest, most eldritch dungeons of the realm, eliminating rival Lich and the horrific, nightmarish creatures that lurk in the shadows. Only by surviving the relentless onslaught can you claim the throne and become the Lich Lord. But your reign will be fleeting—once crowned, a new cycle begins, and an endless legion of challengers will rise, all seeking to dethrone you and seize power for themselves.

Lich Lords blends roguelike dungeon crawling with the punishing combat of souls-like games, combined with the fast-paced action of classic hack 'n' slash ARPGs. You’ll likely create and control countless new Lich, experiment with different classes, acquire unique loot and skills, and die repeatedly—until you finally rise as the one true Lich Lord.

Key Features:

  • Roguelike Gameplay – Every run is unique, with randomized dungeons, enemy Lich, monsters, and an expansive pool of customizable loot. No two playthroughs are the same.

  • Customizable Campaigns – Tweak campaign settings to craft your ideal experience, adjusting parameters like total enemy Lich amount, damage multipliers, dungeon themes, and more.

  • Exploration, Secrets & Discovery – Traverse a haunting variety of dungeon environments, from gothic castles and ancient ruins to overgrown cities, each with randomized layouts and unpredictable horrors waiting around every corner. Discover secrets and lore about the new realm you find yourself in, it's inhabitants, and what the new world you find yourself in really is...

  • Form a party - Journey alone or recruit allies in the dungeons to fight alongside you - freed prisoners, ghouls, zombies, ghosts, creatures and animals etc

  • Third Person & Top-Down Camera - Dynamically switch in real time between a top down camera view as seen in traditional ARPG style games, or a more modern third person RPG camera style

  • Terrifying Enemies – Rival Lich are not your only threat. Face nightmarish creatures, grotesque humanoids, and eldritch beasts that can end your run in an instant.

  • Deep Character Customization – Personalize your Lich’s appearance, class, and starting items, then build your perfect warrior by upgrading stats, acquiring powerful gear, and refining your combat style.

Only one Lich can reign supreme. Will it be you?
