Solium Infernum - A devilishly good strategy competition

A New King of Hell

Hey, are you up for getting involved in the politics of hell? The strategy game Solium Infernum takes a slightly different approach than the usual genre representatives. Where resources are usually plundered and armies are built, here it's all about politics, charm, and manipulation. And of course, about ascending to the hellish throne.

Imagine this: Satan suddenly disappears and the hellish throne is empty. As one of several archenemies, it is now up to you to gather the forces of the damned and defeat your rivals. Sounds like your kind of game? Then keep reading!

Politics and Double Dealing

What sets Solium Infernum apart from other strategy games like Civilization 7 or Total War Pharaoh is its focus on political cunning and bureaucratic double dealing. Every time you meet with the Conclave of Hell and debate with your archenemies, you have the opportunity to insult them, ally with them, or stab them in the back.

An interesting ability called "Power Behind the Throne" even allows you to execute a clever coup: swear allegiance to another archenemy and overthrow them at the decisive moment to become the ultimate winner. Turning enemies into friends, fulfilling their demands, and then killing them at the last moment - it's truly a brilliant game of psychological deception.

Characters with Personality

The characters in Solium Infernum are more than mere game pieces. They all have their own personalities and approaches. For example, there's Andromalius, the beautiful and vain fallen angel who uses his charm and appearance to lull opponents into a false sense of security.

But Astaroth should not be underestimated either: this muscular fellow with giant horns prefers raw power over clever manipulation. Perfect for players who enjoy building a strong army and conquering the infernal throne through force.
