About the game
Get ready to brave the scorching sands of Stygia! If you're a fan of epic fantasy where danger lurks behind every dune, Conan: Stygia is your next destination. Forget lush landscapes and prepare for an arid, dark setting where evil doesn't just exist—it's hungry for power. In this title by master designer Bruno Cathala, you and your allies will dive into a perilous journey to face horrors that most mortals would rather ignore. The goal is clear, but the execution is brutal: you'll have to explore forgotten crypts and battle hordes of abominable creatures that have very little patience for intruders. The atmosphere is one of pure survival and constant tension. The movement and combat mechanics throw you straight into the action, while the luck of the dice can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It's a game that demands courage (and a bit of luck) to avoid being devoured by the shadows haunting the desert. If you love heavy themes with a 'fight or die' vibe and want to feel the weight of an implacable world, this is your game. It's a survival experience in a brutal fantasy world, where the fate of Stygia hangs in the balance and supernatural creatures are just waiting for the right moment to strike.
