What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are a small team creating a complex game with many interconnected, unpredictably interacting systems. It’s important for us to receive feedback from our community, as it helps with setting correct priorities and making necessary adjustments and fixes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is to release the full version of the game in 2023-2024. This date is an approximation and is subject to change depending on future circumstances.”

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

“We envision Stoneshard as an expansive and ambitious game, so we still have a lot of work ahead of us. The list of features that we plan to implement can be found on our roadmap.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The basic gameplay loop, which includes combat system, dungeon crawling, and character development, has already been implemented. The current version of the game features:

  • The Prologue that serves as a tutorial and a backstory to the main game (around 1 hour of gameplay)
  • ~15-20 hours of content (per one playthrough) covering 15-20 character levels
  • 2 bosses
  • 1 major city
  • 2 villages
  • A portion of the global map (40x40 tiles)
  • 3 types of procedurally generated dungeons: Crypts, Catacombs, and Bastions
  • 23 types of procedurally generated contracts
  • 4 enemy categories - Brigands, Undead, Proselytes, and Beasts (about 120 enemy types overall)
  • 206 abilities
  • 360+ pieces of gear
  • Fully functional combat system with melee, ranged, and magic options
  • Lots of minor mechanics: health and psyche systems, economy, crimes, rumors, traps, hunting, ability to throw items, artifacts, playable lute, and more
  • Steam achievements
”

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

“Yes, the price will be gradually increased as we fill the game with new content and mechanics.”

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

“We have multiple ways of gathering feedback and including players into the development process:

Reviews

“It's something like playing D&D with a stickler of a dungeon master who makes you describe every step you take, and also hates you.”
PC Gamer

“It's witty, it's bold, it's gorgeous, and it's immaculately put together.”
Eurogamer

“Stoneshard already feels like a classic RPG in the making, an ambitious project with vast potential.”
Rock Paper Shotgun

Roadmap

About This Game



Stoneshard is a challenging turn-based RPG set in an open world. Experience the unforgiving life of a medieval mercenary: travel across the war-torn kingdom, fulfill contracts, fight, mend your wounds and develop your character without any restrictions.

There’s no hand-holding, and the game will punish you for your mistakes: you’ll have to carefully prepare for each expedition, plan your actions in advance, and weigh your resources against possible risks. Saving can only be done in certain spots, so each wrong move can potentially lead to a swift death and lost progress.

EXPLORE THE RAVAGED LANDS



  • Open World
    War always leaves its mark: villages lie in ruins, dungeons are infested with monsters, and old roads are abandoned. Travel through Aldor and learn more about its past.
  • Economy
    The wartime economy is ruthless, but it also presents many opportunities: fulfill contracts, hunt for treasure, trade in a variety of goods, and travel the land to earn your fortune.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH



  • Character Development
    Experiment with 200+ abilities and 400+ equipment pieces without any class or level restrictions. Create your very own playstyle!
  • Enemy Variety
    Take part in intense battles against numerous factions. Brigands, abominable cults, the undead - all of them require a unique approach.
  • Tactical Battles
    Only the thoughtful ones shall prevail - plan a few turns ahead, adapt to your surroundings, and fully utilize your character’s strengths.

SURVIVE AGAINST THE ODDS



  • Health System
    Master the simple but deep health system: cauterize bleeding wounds, relieve pain with alcohol and drugs, practice bloodletting and heal your maladies with various concoctions.
  • Psyche
    Different in-game situations have a distinct influence on your character’s mental condition. High morale may turn the tide in your favor when fighting even the most hopeless of battles, while low sanity brings panic attacks and paranoia.
  • Permadeath
    Do you like risk? Then try out the Ironman mode, where every decision is irreversible and your character dies once and for all.

PLANNED UPDATES



  • New Content
    Additional settlements, enemy factions, and even more activities, equipment, and abilities.
  • Caravan
    Gather your own caravan to travel the world. Acquire upgrades for it and recruit followers - their knowledge and skills will likely benefit you along the way. Feeling weary? Return to your camp to hear new stories or just rest by the fire.
  • Main Story
    To solve the mystery of Stoneshards, you’ll have to undertake a long journey full of dangers, hardships, and adventures. What choices will you make in this bleak world?
