Decide the Fate of the World in Azrael, Herald of Death
Vengeance Games, a solo indie developer, has announced its debut title, Azrael, Herald of Death. Blending the narrative depth of a visual novel with the mechanics of turn-based combat, city building, and RPG elements, the game is set to launch on Steam in Q4 2025.
In Azrael, players step into the role of the titular character. He is a dark prophet and a member of the ancient race that shaped life across the galaxy. Once a loyal servant of the ruthless Hierarchs, Azrael has long hidden his contempt beneath a hood of obedience. The Hierarchs built their Empire through conquest and cruelty, but after centuries of silent scheming, Azrael is ready to forge a new path that will determine the fate of mortals and Ancients alike.
Gameplay revolves around player choice, with every decision influencing Azrael’s character and shaping the story’s direction. In addition to branching narratives, players will build and develop planets. All while commanding mortal heroes and engaging in strategic battles using spells and tactics.
Resource management, trade with other Ancients, relic acquisition, and puzzle solving round out the experience. From holding auctions to exorcising demons and expanding civilizations, players will navigate a rich blend of strategy, storytelling, and dark ambition.
With its unique fusion of mechanics and a brooding sci-fi fantasy setting, Azrael, Herald of Death promises a distinctive and thought-provoking journey when it arrives later next year.
