About This Game

​Scarred Steel is a brutal, solo tactical RPG where victory is never clean.

As a betrayed commander, you must dismantle the corrupt Council of Seven through unforgiving turn-based duels.

In this world, you don't just lose health, you gain scars that change how you play.

​Tactical Combat with Real Weight

Every swing of your blade is a gamble.

Manage your Stamina and Balance to stay standing while hunting for gaps in enemy plate.

​Targeted Damage: Specifically target limbs to cripple an opponent’s movement or disable their weapon hand.

​Physics-Driven: Weapon reach, armor weight, and overextension dictate the flow of the duel.

​No Safety: One mistimed lunge can lead to a quick, permanent end.

​The Anatomy of Failure

In Scarred Steel, damage is not temporary.

​Persistent Injuries: Broken bones, deep gashes, and infections follow you across the map.
​
Adapt to Your Wounds: A scarred leg slows your movement; a blinded eye ruins your precision.

​Endurance over Perfection: Success isn't about finishing a fight flawlessly, it's about surviving long enough to heal.

No Perfect Starts

Every run begins with a draft of three randomized survivors.

​Adapt to the Hand You're Dealt: You don't "build" a hero; you manage a survivor with unique traits, limited gear, and starting flaws.

​Resource Scarcity: Every piece of armour and every loaf of bread is a hard-won prize.

Dismantle the Council

Navigate a fractured Kingdom across a strategic map where time is your greatest enemy.

​Hunt the Seven: Track down the Council members, each possessing unique combat styles and influences.
​
The Weight of Time: The Council’s corruption spreads daily. Move carefully to avoid patrols, but move quickly before the land collapses.

The Road to Revenge Begins Here.

Before you can even reach the Council of Seven, you must survive the man who started it all. The Baron

​Can you navigate the ruins, endure the injuries, and claim your first taste of vengeance?
