About the Game

   

The thirst for easy gain leads a small mercenary squad and their employer to a lost barony in the forest, plagued by a mysterious illness. It may be a new kind of the Black Death that has spread throughout medieval Europe or the machinations of local witches. A cunning dealer tries to exploit the tragedy for personal gain and traps the mercenaries in a dangerous game.

   

The prelude to the Plague Lords game will introduce you to the core mechanics and set the stage for the adventures that await you in Plague Lords.

Battle the infected, explore lands shrouded in a mysterious epidemic, and try to uncover its secrets!
