News about our demo

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to post a quick message to let you know our demo has now been taken down while we work on getting everything ready for our launch into Early Access.

You can still play the prologue if you haven't already.

A big thanks for supporting These Doomed Isles throughout our journey, we can't wait for you to be able to play the new god on the 25th September!

Invaders of the Isles Part 3: Acan!

In the 3rd (and final!) part of this mini-series, we’re going to take a look into all the enemies that you’ll encounter when you play as Acan, the Mayan god of wine. These creatures are themed around both mythological and real enemies that their civilisation would have faced.



[h2]Aztec[/h2]
  • The Aztecs were a Mesoamerican culture that flourished in central Mexico in the post-classic period from 1300 to 1521.
  • Aztec warriors were skilled and disciplined fighters, and were highly honoured.
  • Known to be quite bloodthirsty, Aztec warriors preferred to capture their enemies so that they could sacrifice them to the gods.
  • Aztec’s were the first people to discover chocolate.
  • In These Doomed Isles, Aztec steal a Trade card from your deck when attacking a building!


[h2]Conquistador[/h2]
  • The main goal of the Spanish conquistadors was to claim land and resources for their investors and conquer land for treasure and glory.
  • The word conquistador comes from Spanish and means "he who conquers."
  • Wherever the conquistadors went, death, disease, and misery for the natives followed.
  • When a conquistador invades your island, they’ll take 1-5 gold when they attack a building!


[h2]Cipactli[/h2]
  • In Aztec mythology, Cipactli was a primeval sea monster, part crocodilian, part fish, and part toad or frog.
  • Every joint on its body was adorned with an extra mouth.
  • This animal had an insatiable hunger which threatened to devour ever creation on earth.
  • When Cipactli rocks up on your land, they gain +1 attack strength after attacking.


[h2]Cueyatl[/h2]
  • Cueyatl are a frog-like race of humanoids that make their homes in swamps and dense jungles.
  • They have poisonous tongues that could corrode a demigod's body.
  • When they hop onto your land, they will spawn a copy of themselves if they take zero damange during a turn!


[h2]Camazotz[/h2]
  • Camazotz is described as an anthropomorphized leaf-nosed bat and is the Mayan god of bats, night, death and sacrifice.
  • He supposedly fed on blood, and is fiercely dangerous to anyone that comes across it.
  • In These Doomed Isles, Camazotz will attack housing (or your shrine if it’s closer!)


[h2]Huay Chivo[/h2]
  • Huay Chivo is a legendary Mayan beast.
  • He is a half-man, half-beast creature, with burning red eyes.
  • He was thought to be an evil sorcerer who can transform himself into a supernatural animal, usually a goat, dog or deer, in order to prey upon livestock!
  • He will cause chaos on your island, so be ready to defend your settlement!


You'll be able to fight against these troublesome enemies on September 25th when the full game releases! These baddies are part of the third God, Acan, who hasn't yet been playable. We're really excited for you to play as Acan, and we'll be sharing more info on this god over the coming weeks!

As always, if you're able to wishlist These Doomed Isles that would really help us get our game noticed. Thank you!

And feel free to join us over on Discord to chat about strategies, playtests, and more.

Until next time!
