Songs of Syx Gameplay

Start Small

Explore the lives and personalities of your subjects as you build the necessities to survive your first winter. Hunt and forage and farm to keep them fed and weave clothes to keep them warm.

The people that make up your settlement come from many different races, with their own skills and flaws. Each one is an individual, with their personality, agenda, preferences, friends, and traits.

You don't control them directly, you rather make the plans and they execute intelligently. If you take good care of them, more will immigrate to your settlement. If you wrong them, they might serve you inefficiently, or openly rebel against you.

End Big

Take your settlement further than you ever have before by winning the hearts of your subjects or by whipping them into submission. Build cities with up to 30k individuals.

As your numbers swell, you will stop focusing on the individuals and turn your attention towards groups. A group can be described as a combination of race, social standing, religion, and trade.

And in Songs of Syx, subjects don't like those who are different from them. It is up to you if you want to encourage such behavior by discriminating against some groups and imposing privileges on others, or if you want to create a diverse and tolerant society, utilizing the different traits of races.

Fight

Call your banners swell your ranks with mercenaries and boost the morale of your soldiers with a hero or two. Enjoy massive battles, that aim to be realistic with low kill rates and fragile morale, as you fend off an invader, or reclaim a kingdom that is rightfully yours.

Your city might get raided by bandits. Raiders want your goods, and if you don't surrender them they will attack. As you grow, battles will mostly take place outside of cities and out on the field.

And the battle matters. It will take years to build up a force and if you're defeated, the enemy will hunt down those fleeing and annihilate your army, while suffering minor casualties themselves. You will then have to sue for a costly peace unless you have enough manpower and funds to quickly raise another.

Expand

Syx is a living world, full of different races, cultures, old and new gods, and strange creatures. Night turns to day, climate and weather change, and migrations of animals and people are on the move.

Droughts and pestilence, pirates and bandits, and discoveries will ensure kingdoms and empires come and go with or without your intervention. No game will ever be the same, as all content, background stories, and easter eggs are generated uniquely in each iteration, while still sticking to a rich background story that you will unfold piece by piece.
