What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Splintered features a dynamic, ever-evolving Randomizer. With so many potential randomizer features, game modes, and ways to play, community input is paramount in shaping this experimental concept into the best game it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm planning for Early Access to last approximately 3-6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to have:
More class archetypes.
A secret final ending.
More game modes that unlock game-changing evolutions to the game and randomizer.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently to includes:
  • A Full Base Quest (similar to a classic RPG, but a much shortened experience).
  • A Randomized Quest that progresses the story and unlocks the Randomizer when completed.
  • A Randomizer with millions of seeds to explore. Share your favorites with others!

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. During Early Access the game will be priced at a reduced rate. The price will be increased upon entering the 1.0 full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I highly value community input and am looking forward to hearing from you! The community discord is the best place to provide direct feedback. Alternatively, the Steam discussion forums work well too. The community has already helped greatly with balance changes, features requests, randomizer flag requests, and more so feel free to join the fun and help make this the best possible experience for everyone!”

About This Game

A unique RPG where the villain randomizes the world with each defeat.

Start with a classic RPG experience! The enemy has attacked, your king is dead, and the sacred artifact of your kingdom has been stolen. It's up to you, the descendant of a legendary knight, to avenge your king and restore your kingdom's artifact to its rightful place. But victory is only the beginning!

Upon completing your quest, the villain sends the world into chaos, Splintering (randomizing) your homeworld and rolling back time. It's up to you to unravel these Splintered worlds. Items, towns, and equipment has all been misplaced and your enemies share traits and abilities in unpredictable ways. Complete these Splintered worlds to unlock new challenges, classes, and game modes while getting one step closer to the final showdown!

Features:

  • Classic turn based combat. Use attacks, spells, and items to overcome your foes.

  • Level up equipment to unlock a multitude of powerful abilities to define your playstyle

  • Mix and match equipment from 3 class archetypes (Paladin, Thief, Mage) with more to come!

  • Encounter dozens of enemies that, when randomized, shuffle their traits and abilities to form new, unpredictable, challenges.

  • Hunt enemies to unlock specialized passive talents and take your power to new heights.

  • Adapt to the randomized world. Improvise, master new playstyles, and counter deadly enemy combinations to overcome the Splintering.

  • Endless randomized seeds.

  • Conquer challenges to unlock new game modes that drastically alter the game such as Roguelike Mode, Clairvoyance Mode, Chaos Mode, and more!

  • Level up to learn 9 core spells that can be further enhanced by equipment in powerful ways!

  • 8-bit retro styled art and audio for a classic experience (that's MOSTLY faithful to the era).

  • Pick and choose your favorite game modes and randomized settings to create your own flavor of endless fun.

  • Unravel a story that begins as a classic tale of treachery and unfolds into one of mystery, secrets, and truths.

  • Seamless in-game help feature. Telepathically communicate with your father for guidance if you get lost. (Note: Help feature is completely optional. Exploring and talking to NPCs will provide plenty of hints to complete the game without help.)
