Elder Lich

About

Elder Lich is a turn-based RPG set in an alternate 19th century where steam and sorcery coexist. You navigate a fractured Europe dominated by two German federations and the enigmatic nation of Schadel, a neutral buffer state teetering on chaos. Choices drive the story as you align with factions, manage resources, and confront undead threats. Combat blends tactical positioning with spellcasting, while dialogue options shape alliances and betrayals. Character progression emphasizes skill trees and item crafting, letting you build a playstyle suited to brute force or cunning manipulation. The game shines in its layered political intrigue and undead lore. Players often cite the moral ambiguity of decisions, where helping one group risks destabilizing another. With a 92% completion rate on Steam, fans praise its branching narratives and historically inspired yet fantastical setting. The undead aren’t just enemies, they’re political tools, reflecting the world’s uneasy balance. Its niche appeal lies in combining period detail with fantasy, offering 40+ hours of play for those who dig into every subplot.
