Sorcerer King, a 4X strategy game from the developers of Elemental: War of Magic, the Galactic Civilization series, and more, will be released on July 16 for PC, Stardock announced today.
In Sorcerer King, players choose from six different “sovereigns:” the wizard, the commander, the tyrant, the guardian, the priest, or the tinkerer. A custom sovereign is also an option for those that wish to get a little more creative with their player character.
Set in a fantasy world where someone known as the Sorcerer King has begun to harness the magic of the world by destroying “shards” that contain this energy in an effort to become a god, players must build up an empire through story-driven quests, written by Cracked.com’s Chris Bucholz, in a randomly generated map and grow strong enough to take on the Sorcerer King.
The game is currently available through Early Access on Steam for $40 and, throughout its development, has seen several updates that have added new features and content. The full version of Sorcerer King will be available on July 16 for PC.
