Being trapped in infinite dungeon, he can achieve one of game goals - become a king of any faction, escape from dungeon or become a god. Some tiles were borrowed from Battle For Wesnoth game.

Unfortunately, current english translation is poorly made, hope you will enjoy Demon Tactics, despite this sad fact.
