Stardock Entertainment is largely known for their sci-fi-themed 4X series Galactic Civilizations, but their fantasy take on the genre, Sorcerer Kings, launched last year to a largely positive response. Now they’re back with a follow-up that will add a whole bunch of new content and features, and allow you the chance to become a god.

Shamefully I didn't mention it in my review, but one thing that really annoyed me about the otherwise fun Sorcerer King was the removal of a build queue from your city screen. Why, Stardock, why?

We had a chin wag with Stardock Games' Brad Wardell, ruler of many galaxies in alternate turn-based dimensions, but now we've got him on the subject of fantasy 4X instead. What's the deal with Sorcerer King?

Sorcerer King leaves Early Access on 16th July

Stardock has announced that its fantasy turn-based strategy game Sorcerer King will leave Early Access and launch fully on 16th July via Steam for PC. Sorcerer King is a little bit different from other traditional 4X games from StarDock, as rather than taking on various factions for supremacy, you're trying to stop the titular Sorcerer King, a powerful and nefarious villain, from destroying the world and ascending to godhood. In order to stop the Sorcerer King you must build a kingdom and raise a powerful army while dealing with rival factions who only care about conquering more land and resources. You must hurry though, as a Doomsday Counter keeps track of the Sorcerer King's progress toward godhood.
