Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 8 GB of storage. Windows only.

Take the Infernal Throne in this hellish turn-based grand strategy game. The Prince of Darkness has vanished, leaving Archfiends to conspire: muster your legions while intoning dark sorceries, devilish schemes, and machiavellian plots. Who will be the new ruler of Hell and ascend the Throne?
Description from the Steam store page.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $19.99, set in February 2025. 22 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 15 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Democracy 4 ($29.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Digital Edition ($19.99, scores 28).

Steam's global achievement data puts 20 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 481 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 722 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 106 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

I've been playing Solium Infernum with my board game group since release, and I cherish every miserable, bastardly turn of it. We've mostly kept up a rate of a game per month, and I even got an online board game group into it. I love it. It hates me, certainly, but I love it. A lot of people who like turn-based strategy and 4x games didn't buy this because they don't want to (or can't) get a group together to play...

This is civilization but designed for multi-player and with more flavor. If you want to feel like a tactical mastermind, this is your game. It's a true 4X where victory comes in more ways than just combat. Diplomacy and information warfare are critical parts of the game. Compared to Root, the game is heavier, with longer games and more complicated choices. The community is small but dedicated. Players will send you...
KeyboardDrummerRecommendedafter 75hAug 2026Read on Steam
This continues to be the single best asynchronous strategy game ever. Get some friends together, and prepare to stab each other in the back in and endless cycle of betrayal that makes Game of Thrones look like a baby series for small babies without the heart to do the EVIL THAT MUST BE DONE.
