Taking a break from transport networks to test an evil new prototype from the creators of Prison Architect! Arise Dark Lord
Today on Pixels and Platforms, we are stepping out of our usual genre to check out Arise Dark Lord, a brand new prototype from Introversion Software. They are the brilliant minds behind Prison Architect and The Last Starship, and they've given us access to this early build. We will be testing our management skills in a completely different way as we attempt to build a Dark Tower, raise an undead army, and crush humanity. Best of all, you can also join in the fun using the prototype link and password below!

About Pixels and Platforms:
Pixels and Platforms is a series where we explore train, transport, and tycoon games with fresh eyes and honest first impressions. Each episode is a relaxed exploration of a different title, focusing on learning the game together and discovering how its networks work. We look at what makes each game unique, check out the core mechanics, and see what the experience is like for a player stepping in for the very first time. Expect genuine reactions, approachable instruction, and a comfortable space to explore the world of transport simulators.

About Arise Dark Lord:
Arise Dark Lord is a new action-strategy hybrid prototype from Introversion Software. You play as The Dark Lord, aiming to raise an undead army and crush the humans. The game blends tower defence, base building, and direct control of your avatar. As your sorcery grows, the world will rise up to destroy your Dark Tower. You must fortify your realm and build enough strength to march out and conquer.
