Hell could use a new head honcho, but getting there is about as straightforward as a nest of snakes.
That's the drive behind Solium Infernum, a turn-based strategy game that tasks players with finding ways to become the new supreme overlord of Hell, guiding their chosen Archfiend through trickery, magic rituals, and innumerable demonic legions. Some interesting gameplay mechanics and absolutely gorgeous artwork reinforce the game's unique flair, while multiplayer support means that you can scheme against your friends.
The relatively (for the genre) fast playtimes mean it's also possible to get through a game or three without making a long-term commitment, though repeated playthroughs make some balance issues apparent, especially when you're playing against AI opponents. Here's my review.
