Songs of Syx is a fantasy city-builder where you start as a humble colony and build, strategize, and fight your way to a sprawling metropolis and empire. The game features complex, realistic mechanics where minor events can lead to the collapse of entire kingdoms. It’s easy to learn but incredibly challenging to master, set in a low-fantasy world designed to spark your imagination.
Start Small…
Begin by exploring the lives and personalities of your settlers. Ensure their survival through hunting, foraging, farming, and weaving clothing to keep them warm during harsh winters. Your subjects come from various races, each with unique skills, flaws, and personal traits. Rather than controlling them directly, you plan and manage, while they execute your strategies. Treat them well, and they’ll boost your settlement’s growth. Mistreat them, and they might rebel or perform poorly.
…End Big
Expand your humble settlement into a grand city with up to 30,000 inhabitants. As your population grows, shift your focus from individual management to overseeing groups defined by race, social status, religion, and trade. Your approach to these groups can foster diversity and tolerance or breed discrimination and privilege. The choice is yours, and it will shape your empire’s development.
Lore
Once, the world of Syx was unified under a mighty empire ruled by the Gods of Order, bringing peace and prosperity. However, this harmony shattered when a faction of greedy Men freed the God of Chaos, leading to a devastating conflict. The God of Chaos unleashed a plague and magical devastation, erasing cities and knowledge. The gods of order were slain and banished, and the land fell into ice and snow for an age. Now, as the ice recedes, the world calls for a leader.
Choose to play as the Dondorians, expert miners determined to reclaim their legendary capital at Mt. Cerebus, or as Men, who possess the ingenuity to unite warring kingdoms but must guard against temptation. Alternatively, attract the Kantors, reclusive and wrathful beings with immense value if you can win them over.
