About this game

Two worlds – two races – one fate!
On the advent of light, the Gods waged war and tore the world asunder.
Two weaker worlds emerged: One of Light and one of Dark.
A new human civilization arose from the ashes of the defeated Firstborn: The Starborn, led by their guiding star. A bright age of enlightenment followed.
Peace would not last - The unstable worlds birthed all-consuming Purgatories. Soon, people started to wage war over what land remained. The chaotic Age of a Thousand Kings begins.
The Silence continues to spread, relentless and unstoppable. Today, both worlds are on the brink of ruin. The fate of many now rests in the hands of a few.
Classic 4X Strategy
Lead powerful armies conscripted from a roster of over 100 units as you explore beautiful handmade singleplayer campaigns and custom multiplayer maps. Outwit your opponents by laying deadly ambushes in deep forest or march right up to their front gates and lay siege to their cities. Manage hard-won resources to rebuild a ravaged realm and defeat your rival kingdoms as you search for a new homeland.
Innovative battle system
Play intense, fast-paced battles as the armies of the realms clash in vicious combat. Set your formation and prepare to engage the enemy, using tactical orders, reinforcements, and divine interventions to turn the tide of conflict.
Three distinct, powerful factions
Each faction and hero has their own distinct play style, both on the strategic map and in battle. With over 100 units and hundreds of card effects: from celestial summons to burning down entire cities, your options are nearly limitless.
Beautiful, Art Nouveau inspired graphics
Fuelled by the work of Alphonse Mucha and other proponents of the Art Nouveau style, Songs of Silence bucks the 4X strategy trend of muddy maps and dour, anonymous units by bringing beautiful, colorful visuals to the genre - strategy doesn’t have to be ugly!
Cards of Fate
Songs of Silence offers a fresh take on cards. Instead of collecting and building a deck of cards which are dealt in hands, cards in Songs of Silence represent unique actions granted by heroes and locations. These are then played on the campaign map or during our real-time battles to influence outcome via troop orders, status effects or direct damage.
The game's atmospheric soundtrack is composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto, the famous artist behind all-time favorites such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 12, and Valkyria Chronicles.
