The Zodiac already has a ruler, and it isn’t you. Solo developer Carl Treadway and publisher indie.io announce that Conjurers, a turn-based tactics game where every victory means seizing a rival mage’s constellation and folding their star-born army into your own, launches July 28, 2026 on Steam with a 20% launch discount.
Eight rival mages rule the Zodiac, each commanding a constellation of creatures bound to them. Defeating one doesn’t just clear a path — it strips them of their stars entirely, folding those creatures into your own growing deck. Win enough battles and your army becomes something no single mage was ever meant to command: a hybrid force drawn from across the full Zodiac, built piece by piece from every opponent you’ve dismantled. The goal is singular and unrelenting: unite the Zodiac and become powerful enough to unseat the Immortal Aquarius.
Combat runs deeper than it first appears. Terrain isn’t a backdrop; it’s leverage. High ground, Mana Towers and battlefield hazards shift the math on every move, and creatures perform differently depending on the land beneath them. Players build a deck of 24 cards — drawing from 150 creature cards, weapons, abilities, and spells — and manage Mana carefully across each turn, choosing whether to activate creatures or play cards, never quite able to do everything at once. Each of the eight Conjurers fights differently, and so does every battlefield they occupy.
Key Features:
- Conquer the Zodiac: Defeat rival Conjurers to claim their creature types permanently. Your creatures persist across battles, gaining experience and leveling up as they fight — all leading to one final confrontation with the Immortal Aquarius.
- Terrain-Driven Tactics: High ground, Mana Towers, and environmental hazards shape every battle — positioning is as important as the cards in your hand.
- 60 Creatures. Infinite Hybrids: Combine any two Zodiac creature types to forge powerful hybrids. A Hoofed-Human becomes a Minotaur, a Polypod-Prowler forms a Manticore, a Winged-Lizard gives rise to a Dragon, with many more combinations waiting to be discovered.
Aquarius has ruled long enough. Conjurers launches July 28, 2026, on Steam for $11.99 with a 20% launch discount. Play the free demo now and be ready when the Zodiac opens for conquest.
