Death is no longer the end. Eldritch Sword Games and publisher Mad Mushroom have unleashed a major update for Conquest Dark, the brutal sword-and-sorcery survivors-like that stormed into Early Access back in April 2025 — and the star of the show is none other than the Necrolord, a brand-new class that commands the dead to fight in your name.

A haunting new trailer has also dropped, showcasing the class’s undead might — and it looks every bit as menacing as you’d hope.

About Conquest Dark

Launched into Steam Early Access on April 30, 2025, Conquest Dark plunged players into a grim, unforgiving world where humanity teeters on the brink of annihilation. Choose your class, face hordes of twisted foes, grow exponentially in power, and survive escalating waves of infernal pressure — all wrapped in a dark fantasy aesthetic that oozes atmosphere.

“Over a dozen levels, five starting classes, deep build customisation, and global progression that makes every run stronger — this is survivors-like action with teeth.”

Who Is the Necrolord?

This isn’t just another spellcaster — the Necrolord is a master of life and death, raising armies of skeletal thralls, corrupting the living, and turning fallen foes into fresh fuel for your unholy crusade:

• Summon Undead Legions — fill the screen with skeletons, wraiths, and abominations that fight and die for you
• Life from Death — heal and empower yourself as your minions strike down enemies
• Dark Rituals — sacrifice health for devastating bursts of necrotic power
• Builds Around Corruption — stack curses, poison, and decay to melt through bosses and hordes alike

More Than Just a New Class

This update isn’t stopping at the Necrolord — it brings sweeping changes across the board:

• New Runeword System — slot runes into abilities to unlock over 100 million possible combinations with unique global bonuses
• Fresh Artefacts & Uniques — gear designed to support Necrolord and existing classes alike
• Balance & Polish — refinements to difficulty curves, ability visibility, and bug fixes across the board
