Battle Mages: Sign of Darkness invites players into a captivating story set a thousand years after the epic confrontation between the Lord of Chaos and the forces of Order. The narrative begins with a young neophyte embarking on a journey northward to study under a reclusive and powerful wizard, unaware that he is destined to play a crucial role in unfolding events that will shake the world of Daenmor. As players progress, they will engage in four new campaigns that reveal the historical conflicts among various nations, including the treacherous elves and vengeful Orcs.

Players will experience enhanced gameplay features, such as unique heroes with specific traits for each campaign and a newly introduced Dark Magic school. The game expands its universe with new units, upgrades, and the addition of two new playable races: the Dwarves and the Undead. An improved inventory system, complete with a trading interface and new artifacts, enhances the strategic depth. Engaging in tactical troop control has never been more thrilling, with the simulation of day and night cycles as well as varying weather conditions, all while leading their armies against the encroaching darkness.
