Despre acest joc

Dungeon Forged: Warbands is a unique single-player RPG Dungeon Crawler that blends the tactical depth of grid-based, turn-based combat with the open-ended freedom of a world exploration game. Be a mercenary or leader of a warband, you are free to carve your own destiny in a low-fantasy medieval Open World.

Form Your Personalized Warband

Your path is your own. Explore a vast world featuring numerous kingdoms, settlements, ancient ruins, and hidden caves. But you don't have to face it alone. Recruit a diverse Warband of companions, ranging from loyal knights and treacherous bandits to non-human allies like goblins and minotaurs. Once you conquer a dungeon, maybe you can use the place to hire your new allies among the subjugated inhabitants.

Tactical Grid Combat with Consequences

Experience fast-paced, fluid turn-based combat on a tactical grid, where every move and attack is vital. Inspired by classic top-down RPGs, combat is punishing and realistic:

• Localized Body Damage: Every blow has consequences. Damage is applied to specific body parts, leading to crippling injuries that affect performance until healed.   

• Realistic Layered Armor:

  Gear protection goes deep. Equip your character and companions with layered armor like cloth, gambeson, chainmail, and plate where each layer and piece protects specific body parts, forcing you to think strategically about defense.
  Wearing a steel cuirass protects the chest well, but what about neck? Because getting a deady hit to neck, head or chest can be fatal, so you need to consider geometry or effectiveness of each armor layer well. 

• Defense by Damage Type: Each armor layer offers distinct resistance values against the three primary damage types: Slashing, Piercing, and Blunt. A chainmail might excel at stopping a slashing attack but less effective against blunt force. This forces you to anticipate enemy weapon types and manage your defensive layers accordingly to mitigate damage effectively.

Specialized Skills for Maximum Impact and Survival

Your character's and companions' combat effectiveness is defined by deep, diverse Skill Trees. Customize your play style with abilities ranging from essential party management—like Healing and Commanding companions to Hold, Follow, or Attack—to specialized combat techniques like Riposte and Cleave. When the timing is right, activate a skill for devastating results: shift your tactical balance with Offensive or Defensive Stances, or use the signature Charge skill, launching you across the grid to deliver a brutal, momentum-fueled hit that can instantly decide a fight.

Gain full control over the battlefield by leveraging skill trees that offer both utility and direct combat power. From managing your party with Command skills (Hold, Follow, Attack, Wait) to sustaining yourself with Healing, you choose how you fight: stand firm with a Defensive Stance or press the advantage with an Offensive Stance. For high-impact moments, Riposte and Cleave and other skills are at your disposal. Or maybe Charge at enemies from distance, perfect for finishing off a monster.

A World Ready for Exploration and Loot

The Open World map is fraught with peril and opportunity. Beyond raiding deadly Dungeons or Caves for valuable loot, you will encounter roaming enemy warbands and engage in open-ground battles across forests and meadows. Take on quests, trade goods between settlements, and gather the wealth and reputation needed to forge your legend.

Informații despre conținutul generat de IA

Dezvoltatorii descriu astfel conținutul generat de IA pentru jocul lor:

I am a solo developer building a massive game. This naturally presents major time and budget challenges for creating all the art assets.

To maintain my ambitious visual scope, I utilize AI-generated concepts purely as a starting foundation. I personally hand-paint and finalize every draft with digital painting before it enters the game. This hybrid art procedure granted me the speed I needed also helped maintaining the visual artistic standards.

Descrierea conținutului destinat publicului matur

Dezvoltatorii descriu conținutul astfel:

The game features Frequent Stylized Violence in a medieval fantasy setting, similar in style to games like Battle Brothers or Stoneshard.

Violence and Blood in Gameplay: Combat is turn-based and grid-based. Successful attacks result in blood splatter and stylized damage text, depicting the impact on various body parts. Characters and monsters are seen in upper-body sprite representations, and fatal damage results in a stylized death animation, often accompanied by blood effects. Blood effects can be disabled in the game options, replacing them with a less intense, smoky 'puff' animation.

Body Damage and Injuries in UI: The gameplay features a detailed body part damage system where characters can suffer wounds, and after death, companion portraits may depict bloodied faces to represent their injuries.

Monsters and Themes: The game includes encounters with fantasy monsters, including common foes like goblins and potentially slightly unsettling creatures like undead and corrupted entities.

Sexual/Nudity Content: The game contains no sexual acts, themes or dialogues. The only depictions of nudity are non-sexual naked upper-body models of male characters shown exclusively within the inventory/character screen for outfit-changing.

Other Sensitive Topics: The game does not contain any depictions or themes related to sexual assault/non-consensual sex, BDSM, drug or alcohol abuse, or self-harm.
