Berlin, Germany, August 7th, 2024 - Channel your inner Spartan king and brace yourself for war as dice-fueled deck-building roguelike Last Spartan: Glory over Madness charges towards a November 1st release date on Steam. The genre-fusing title isn’t stopping there either as it prepares to conquer Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch in Q1 2025.

Embody the legendary Leonidas, thrust into a nightmarish realm where iconic Greek myths collide with the horrifying creations of H.P. Lovecraft. Explore a twisted ancient Greece, where each turn-based encounter hinges on the strategic roll of a custom dice set. Forget blind luck! You'll meticulously craft your dice with powerful abilities throughout your journey, creating a unique and personalized arsenal for every run.

The weight of your choices rests heavily on your Spartan shoulders. Wise decisions unlock powerful rewards, blessings, and alliances with the Greek pantheon. One misstep, however, could lead you down a path of crippling curses and agonizing madness. Can you maintain your sanity and conquer the encroaching darkness?

Prepare for every roll of the dice and forge alliances with a pantheon of legendary Greek deities! Unlock Ares, Hera, Apollo, Hephaestus, and six more gods, each offering a unique class and specialized abilities. Experiment with diverse strategies to conquer the monstrous hordes that threaten your sanity and glory.

Myth and madness collide in this unique title that seamlessly blends the captivating tales of Greek mythology with the chilling horror of H.P. Lovecraft. Expect unspeakable foes and unsettling environments as you navigate a story-driven campaign presented in a stylized 2.5D world.

“We've taken a fresh approach to the deck-building genre by incorporating dice crafting mechanics, giving the genre a refreshed overhaul, along with a lowered barrier of entry into the deckbuilding genre and overall experience,” says Ankit Dhillon, Founder and CEO of Bad Spiele Studio. “This unique system creates a vast array of possibilities and outcomes for every player. Coupling that with a true roguelike feeling, Last Spartan has been made so that no enemy or encounter is ever repeated until at least four or more hours in. We have stayed true to the 300 theme by creating 300 unique enemies, encounters, dice faces, and so on for players to enjoy. We're confident we've crafted a truly innovative and thrilling experience that players can delve into when it arrives on Steam on November 1st and on all consoles in Q1 2025!”

Last Spartan: Glory Over Madness marches onto Steam on November 1st, 2024. Prepare to conquer the console battlefield in Q1 2025. Catch the team at Gamescom, where Bad Spiele will be showcasing the game in all of its literal glory in the main indie Hall 10.2 at stand F042g.
