Conquest Dark is made by a solo developer - Eldritch Sword Games, also known as Peter “Irmstoi” Finnberg. Hailing from Finland and with more than 20 years of game dev experience, Conquest Dark is Peter’s first solo project. A massive fan of old-school Sword & Sorcery, here’s what Peter has to say about his game:
“Conquest Dark is my attempt at bringing a dark, grim sword and sorcery style to the horde survivor genre,” said Peter “Irmstoi” Finnberg, solo dev and proprietor at Eldritch Sword Games. “This game is about testing builds, mixing classes, laying waste to waves of enemies, and standing toe-to-toe with deadly bosses. And what we need now more than ever is player feedback - try the demo and let us know what you think on Steam and in Discord so we can continue to make Conquest Dark the best survivor-like ARPG it can be.”
