The Creators of Prison Architect Have a New Evil Overlord Strategy Game! - Arise Dark Lord
The creator spends the whole video playing Arise Dark Lord and giving clear opinions on its mechanics, visuals, and overall potential. He praises the strong presentation, readable art style, satisfying evil-overlord fantasy, and especially the sandbox mode, but repeatedly says it needs much more complexity, deeper unit control, and more systems to fully hook him. Overall he enjoyed it and is interested in its future, though his recommendation is conditional on it expanding beyond this promising tech demo.
