Can they fight fate or will the underworld envelope the planet?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Roman sage Pliny the Elder warned of Mount Vesuvius’ eruption and convened with Proserpina, the goddess of the underworld. Thousands of lives were saved, but Pluto was robbed of new souls in the underworld. His displeasure led him to give the mortal realm an ultimatum: defeat his seven scions in the next year or face annihilation when Vesuvius erupts to blanket the world in ash and darkness…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNations and peoples marshal their greatest fighters to contend with this existential threat. The New Argonauts, Kunlun, Lamosians, and Parthians represent the best of humanity. At the same time, the involvement of the Amazons, Atlanteans, and Pluto’s Refugees signal the universal plight of all who oppose the god of the underworld. Pluto’s scions pose unique challenges, though, and the ancient heroes must call on the aid of their skilled followers if they’re to form an effective fighting unit and defeat these deadly foes. If they have the fortitude and nerve to overcome the standard-bearers of the underworld, then maybe there’s a chance they can challenge Pluto himself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome to Hoplomachus: Victorum, a love letter to solo gaming with an immersive tactical combat system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbark on a worldwide journey with one of eight epic heroes, assemble a squad of elite fighters, defeat primuses as you travel the ancient world, and prevail against one of Pluto’s scions at Mount Vesuvius.
