Queen's Wish 2: The Tormentor is the second chapter in the indie, epic Queen’s Wish Trilogy. You are royalty of the Empire of Haven. A routine diplomatic mission in a brutal, barbarian land has turned into bloody chaos. Fight to calm your subjects, or hunt for a way to set them free.
Explore a vast nation full of cities, forts, and dungeons. Fight clever, carefully designed turn-based battles. Deal with misbehaving vassals with bribery, diplomacy, or violence. Build new forts and customize them, choosing among upgrades that give your adventurers powerful bonuses.
Queen's Wish 2: The Tormentor is coming to Windows and Macintosh at the end of Summer, 2022. Progress you make in the demo will carry over to the full game, so you won't need to start over!
The livestream is done by the developer, who has been making retro indie fantasy adventures for 28 years. Come see the game, ask questions, and hear a variety of cranky opinions about the game industry.
Caligari and Ochre are already waiting for you at your range! Destroy your opponents in the updated brawl on the new map, collect all rewards of the festive event and don’t forget about the gift and special promotion! Let’s start celebrating “Crossout Day”!
Crossout day
Attention! The “Crossout day” event will last until June 1 inclusive! [expand type=details] This year, for the 7th anniversary of Crossout, we’ve updated the brawl that many enjoyed playing last year:
“Crossout day” is a confrontation similar to the “Free for all” brawl, where the player has no allies. You are surrounded by enemies and you need you to destroy as many of them as possible!
The battle takes place on a new map “Sand harbour”.
Players take part in the battle on pre-prepared vehicles, sometimes highly unusual. All armored vehicles in battle are created by our players.
This year, we’ve updated the list of blueprints for the brawl.
The brawl also has respawns.
After respawning, you can choose which vehicle you can choose the vehicle on which you will continue fighting: there will always be 3 random blueprints to choose from.
The points are awarded for both shooting off parts and for destroying the enemy. The points for destroying the enemy are also added to the points for all parts that were mounted the enemy’s armoured vehicle at the time of destruction.
Challenges and rewards:
Each player will have access to a special event reward scale with levels for free:
The level can be increased by completing the daily challenge to find the malfunctioning Caligari drones on the “Crossout day” brawl map.
All uncompleted daily challenges on finding the drones accumulate. If you missed a few days, then you can easily complete several challenges at once.
Leveling up rewards include: unique or rare cosmetic items, containers with resources and CKs, workbench coupons, storage expansions, workpieces, a structural part, range items and Engineer badges.
Everybody in the Valley knows that Scavengers are a part of the “Brotherhood” — a military organization that also includes Steppenwolfs. That’s why discipline and strict hierarchy are highly important and beneficial for Scar AB’s people. Like a strict hierarchy. But every career ladder has a downside — its first steps. Hog has joined the Scavenger ranks just recently, but he has already proven himself to be a responsible worker in the field of finding the useful “junk” and protecting it from hostile gangs. Scar would gladly promote the rookie, but “he has just started working here”. Good thing that Hog is a professional mercenary who is only interested in his reward, and Scavengers always pay their debts.

Special Crossout anniversary promotion
We are launching a special promotion during which:
You will be able to freely switch between the in-game factions.
Part production will be instant (you will still need to claim the finished parts from the workbenches).
The amount of free respawns in raids will be increased from 1 to 2.
Please note:
The promotion will be available from May 19, 06:00 GMT, to June 2, 05:00 GMT.
Free transition between factions will be available immediately if you have not changed your faction the day before the promotion started. If you have already switched between factions, then you need to wait until the timer expires;
All parts that were in production before the promotion started will be manufactured for the allotted time. Instant production will be active only for those parts, the production of which was launched after the start of the promotion.
Additional bonuses
With this update, all players will receive pleasant bonuses, the contents of which will depend on how long you’ve been fighting in the Wasteland world. The more years you have been with us, the more significant the bonus will be because you will not only receive the gift that is based on your time in the game, but all the previous gifts as well!
You can get your bonus while the “Crossout day” event is active. [expand type=details]

WISHLIST Agony Online currently has 1,591+ wishlists on Steam. For an unknown game with zero advertising funds, this is surprisingly awesome! I put both hands in the air in cheer when I saw that number cuz I was expecting maybe 300-ish. ❤️
TEAM & WHATS UP Our 4-man dev team are mostly beta-ready. AO is our dream priority, and we work when we have time to spare (we got jobs, lives, etc). The holdup is some final code to be completed by our head programmer. The man is a genius programmer by trade, but needs time to finish. When that part of the puzzle is added, we can launch beta.
GIVE ME SOME CONCRETE FACTS cuz HYPE Some of you may know these details if you're in our discord
1. AO can hold 65,535 max player connections in it's open world, 10K in Battle Royale mode.
2. Hacks don't work because 99% of actions are server-sided. (AAA games fail at this somehow, its crazy).
3. AO brings a nostalgic feeling of gaming with modern systems from simpler times. So you won't need to consult a damn wiki database just to know how to play the game (You can't play most modern MMOs without a wiki).
4. We had backlash from a couple people, one being an emotional 1M sub game review youtuber, about our speech policy from our previous "Community Rules; less is better" steam announcement, demanding we ban & censor customers if they say no-no words or commit thought-crimes that are offensive to other's sensitive feelings. We are making it clear that we will never bend the knee to the 1%. I'll repeat our rule on this so its clear. If you don't like what someone in AO says, we have a block/mute feature at your disposal, use it. Don't weaponize our report ticket system cuz feelings. We'll only take action against child endangerment & terroristic threats - also if someone is a special community nuisance, we have a jail system too. If you want social justice, get ur friends together ingame, hunt down, and cut off their head like we did in the early 2000s. Nostalgia! 🤣
Dear player, The new update version 3.2.7 includes: * Improved game UI, speed and stability. * Updated many countries' armies, relations and economy based on real world data. * Fixed reported issues and continue to improve Artificial Intelligence.
We plan to add countless new scenarios, diplomacy & spies & war options, technologies, online multiplayer... Your support is important to us to continue developing. Thank you, iGindis Team
We've been working hard on this release & are excited to share an early version of our game with you as a part of a celebration of the entire puzzle game genre! Our demo will be available for a limited-time in order for us to collect early feedback from the community. Please join our discord to stay connected as we develop the rest of the game! You'll get the first look at mechanics in development, new levels, and all things star stuff related.
Also check out our first stream on Steam! The plan is to be live on the 20th at 11:11am PDT.
Love, Sylvia & the rest of the team at Ánimo Games
