Apocalich

About

Apocalich is a tactical RPG where you and up to three friends battle to stop a Lich King’s 20-day plan to corrupt the world. Each day the villain grows stronger by activating magic towers, forcing you to balance side quests, base-building, and timed interventions across a fully visible map. Combat uses action commands for blocking and special moves, with split-screen chaos letting others jump into fights mid-battle. Progress resets if you lose the final showdown on day 20, adding high stakes to every decision. The game stands out for its tight blend of urgency and cooperation. The visible map lets you track the Lich’s progress while managing your own priorities, creating constant tension. Split-screen multiplayer encourages chaotic teamwork, with unexpected allies joining fights as you move around the world. Though released in 2021, its mix of strategy and frantic co-op play keeps it fresh for fans of tactical RPGs with a time-sensitive hook.

Storyline

The Lich King takes about 20 days to spread evil and activate magic towers that make him stronger and stronger. On the 20th day (after ~1.5 hours gameplay) the Lich is all powered up and prompts the final fight, win this fight and you win game! However, if you lose the final fight, you'll have to start all over. The entire map is visible at all times! You can see what the Lich is up to while you are going on quests and rebuilding the world. Sometimes events will happen on the other side of the map, will you be in time to intervene? Maybe you'll need to fix the bridge and help the boat service get back on track to be somewhere in time. Remember to talk to all the NPCs! Whenever you cross paths with an enemy a battle window pops ups. During battles use action commands to block incoming attacks and deal critical hits. Some skill even require multiple action commands to perform well! If you or someone else walks behind a battle window, they will join the fight! Watch out for sudden backup, or help out a friend in need!
