Impire

In the dark and twisted world of Impire, you get to play the ultimate villain a powerful demon lord named Báal Abaddon who's been trapped in a pathetic mortal form by some meddling sorcerer. This isn't your typical strategy game where you're the hero saving the day. Oh no, you're the one building the dungeon, setting the traps, and causing all the trouble that heroes will desperately try to stop.

Developed by Cyanide Montreal, Impire gives you that delicious evil overlord fantasy we've all secretly wanted to experience. Your mission? Rebuild your demonic form from its weakened state and create the most terrifying underworld dungeon imaginable. You'll recruit all sorts of nasty creatures, from goblins to more powerful monsters, and turn them into your personal army of darkness.

What makes Impire really stand out is how much control you have over your evil empire. You're not just placing rooms randomly you're strategically designing your dungeon layout, crafting devious traps that would make any adventurer think twice, and personally customizing Báal with better weapons and armor as he grows stronger. It's like being the director of your own horror movie where the monsters always win.

The game takes place in the fantasy world of Ardania (familiar to fans of the Majesty series), and you're not confined to your dungeon either. You can send your minions to raid surface locations, stealing treasure and causing chaos above ground. There's even this cool card system where you collect magical items and build decks that match how you like to play whether you prefer brute force, sneaky tricks, or magical domination.

Whether you want to rule alone in the solo campaign, team up with a friend in coop mode to build the ultimate evil lair together, or challenge other players in multiplayer battles, Impire offers plenty of ways to embrace your inner demon lord. It's that rare game that lets you properly play the bad guy without any apologies, and honestly, being evil has never been this much fun.
