The development team at Stardock is making progress in the development process of the new Sorcerer King strategy title and the company wants potential players to remain up to speed with what the game can deliver.

A new live stream has been uploaded to YouTube and shows a new build of the game, with a range of intriguing features, while game makers offer commentary and explain how the new title will challenge players using mechanics that are not traditional for the genre.

Sorcerer King is an asymmetric experience and the player starts off in a corner, controlling a rather weak kingdom, while the powerful warlord from the title seeks to complete his conquest of the world.

As the game progresses, players need to expand their city, reach out to other independent factions, research more tech and train their armies in order to slowly push back the advance of the evil forces and to find a way to bring about their final defeat.

Stardock says that it is creating a capable Artificial Intelligence to play the villain, giving him plenty of options to stop player efforts and ensuring that each game feels new and exciting.

Sorcerer King is set to be launched on the PC at some point later in the year.
