Dark Deity is a tactical role-playing video game developed by Sword & Axe LLC and published by indie.io. It was funded by Kickstarter, and released on June 15, 2021, on the Steam platform for Microsoft Windows. It was later released for Nintendo Switch on March 17, 2022. It follows a group of military academy students in a fantasy universe who are suddenly conscripted into the army years prior to their normal graduation due to the onset of war in the kingdom. The game garnered positive reviews on PC and mixed reviews on Switch, with reviewers praising its overall gameplay, character artwork, and amount of class choices. However, reviewers criticized its map graphics and design, menu layout, performance issues, and bugs. The game's similarity to the Fire Emblem series was noted, and some felt the game lacked originality in the directness of its homages. A sequel was released in 2025, Dark Deity 2.
