As part of the Ukrainian Games Festival 2024, which starts today on Steam, a new Ukrainian project has been announced – action/RPG Armageddonica by Lviv-based studio Templar Order.

In Armageddonica, you play as a Champion, a general leading the Heavenly Army in a war against the ancient demons, the Deribogs. Each Champion is a powerful hero with unique abilities and equipment, but even they cannot stand against the Deribogs alone. Players must balance the abilities of their Champion with the strength of their subordinates while leading the army that accompanies them into battle.

In other words, Armageddonica is an action/RPG, but with an army. According to the developers themselves, they tried to combine a modern action/RPG combat system with the atmosphere of classic real-time strategies. Those who have already played Armageddonica characterize the game as “Diablo for a necromancer on max settings”.

You can improve and develop your champion, choose different factions, each of which has its own specialization. The game also has roguelike elements, and each passage will be different from the previous one. The duration of each race, including the rebuilding of the base, is 10-30 minutes.

In addition, Armageddonica has a metagame with the development of your own Bastion base. The player has to improve it to unlock new units, abilities, storylines, etc.

Ukrainian and English localizations are announced for Armageddonica, but the Ukrainian one is not yet available. The game supports gamepad.

Armageddonica doesn’t have a release date yet, but the Steam page is already up and running, so you can add the game to your Wish List.

The announcement of Armageddonica is only the first of many announcements of Ukrainian games to be made during the Ukrainian Games Festival 2024, which will take place from August 19 to 26, 2024. The festival’s page should go live at 20:00 Kyiv time, and in a few days the event announcement should appear on the main Steam page.
