What is MachiaVillain?

MachiaVillain is a top-down, single-player base-building and management game set in a community of villains.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy designing rooms and setting deadly traps
  • +you like managing minions with different needs

Not for you if...

  • −you want direct control over every character's actions
  • −you prefer games without horror-themed violence
