Stoneshard

Stoneshard is a demanding turn-based RPG situated within an open world environment. Live the unforgiving life of a medieval mercenary by navigating a war-torn kingdom, accepting contracts, engaging in combat, treating injuries, and evolving your character freely. The game provides no assistance and penalizes errors heavily; you must prepare meticulously for expeditions. With saves restricted to specific areas, a poor decision can swiftly end your life and erase progress. Venture through the ravaged lands of Aldor, where ruins, monster-filled dungeons, and abandoned roads await. Assemble a caravan, recruit followers for their expertise, and utilize campfires for rest. Seize economic opportunities through trading, treasure hunting, and fulfilling contracts to amass wealth. Define your playstyle using over 200 abilities and 400 equipment items without class restrictions. Fight various factions like brigands, cults, and the undead using specific tactics. Victory requires planning moves in advance and adapting to the environment. Master the health system by cauterizing bleeding, managing pain with alcohol, and curing diseases. Your character's Psyche is crucial; high morale aids in battle, while low sanity leads to panic. Ironman mode introduces permadeath for those seeking ultimate risk. Planned updates include additional content and a main story to solve the game's mysteries.
