About the Game

In this game, you control ex-General Xzus as he breaks free of the hellish Purgatory, dark ghouls and skeletons in tow, in order to exact revenge on those who have wronged him in life. He also wishes to find and protect his daughter Lucile. You use Purgatory as your base, where you can improve stats, complete challenges and hire new creatures to your cause, ready for the challenge that lies ahead in the land of the living. This takes the form of a map, with each point providing a new journal entry and battle challenge. Many of these battles include hidden surprises such as ambushes and treasure chests, in order to add additional levels of enjoyment to the title.

Reviews of the original Purgatory on Steam:

[NOT] “Love this game! I just want to play it all day. Awesome music and sounds too.”
Bechstein “Another tactical RPG like Fire Emblem or Overfall; this time in a grungy, impressionist pixel art aesthetic that pits your undead army against another undead army. Plenty of reading, story and customization. The troops’ skill trees are quite easy to follow, and it’s all alright now.”
Youtube – Tkillaah “Think strategic, Make smart moves so you can build a big army, it got a lot of levels, This is def not a bad game, and if you like monsters then you shouldn’t doubt getting this even without discount”

Our Story:

The Purgatory series is a labour of love. I’ve always been a fan of fantasy strategy games like Age of Wonders and HoMM (and more recently Fire Emblem). I love to write for the interactive medium that is video games, and Xzus’ story (some of you may recognise from my Data Hacker RPG series) is one that I really wanted to expand upon.

I really hope you like what we’re doing here. From my own time testing and tweaking the game, I think it’s shaping up to be something really awesome.
