Planar Conquest, developed by Wastelands Interactive, is a turn-based fantasy 4X strategy game inspired by Master of Magic. You create your own Sorcerer Lord and lead an empire across multiple planes of existence through exploration, expansion, diplomacy, and tactical warfare. With extensive character customization and a large library of spells, the game is geared toward players who enjoy classic fantasy strategy games with deep, long-form campaigns.

Exploring a procedurally generated multiverse

Each campaign spans seven procedurally generated Planes of Existence, each with its own characteristics and customizable world settings. As you explore, you'll discover more than 40 types of locations containing loot, encounters, and guardians to defeat. Expanding into neutral and enemy cities increases your territory, while diplomacy provides another way to gain an advantage over rival Sorcerer Lords. The procedurally generated worlds also help make each campaign unfold a little differently.

Sorcerer customization and tactical battles

Before starting a campaign, you can customize your own Sorcerer Lord or choose a pre-generated one. Character creation includes selecting from 13 spell circles, which determine access to more than 300 spells, along with over 40 disciplines that provide different strengths and weaknesses.

Combat takes place on a tactical battle board where you'll command armies, cast strategic spells, recruit heroes, summon magical creatures and Titans, and strengthen your forces as they gain experience through battle. Different combinations of spell circles and disciplines also encourage experimenting with new strategies across multiple playthroughs.

Empire management beyond combat

Building a successful empire involves more than winning battles. You'll construct over 40 building types to develop your settlements, recruit more than 150 unique military units, and balance military strength with magic, diplomacy, and economic growth. These interconnected systems encourage careful planning as your empire expands across the multiverse.

A classic 4X experience for dedicated strategy fans

Planar Conquest is best suited for players looking for a classic fantasy 4X strategy game with extensive customization and lengthy campaigns. Its numerous mechanics may take time to learn, but those who enjoy building empires, experimenting with different magical builds, and planning for the long term will find plenty to explore.
