Roadworn

Roadworn is a sandbox RPG set in a grim but not hopeless world. There is no chosen one, and nobody leads you by the hand. You start in a small village with a hero, two
companions, no reputation and no friends. Everything else you earn on the road.

Build your band
10 playable races - humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, undead, goblins, ratmen, minotaurs, ogres and demons - each with its own classes.

Races share a long history, and they bring it into your squad. Who you recruit affects everyone else's mood, and some pairings slowly poison it.

Every fighter judges your decisions. Let loyalty fall too low and they leave. That includes your own hero.

Recruits are rare and every one of them counts. Traits, equipment and learned abilities turn each squad into a build of its own.


Fight on the hex grid
Turn-based tactical battles with an initiative-based turn order.

Melee fighters hold the front line while archers, mages and healers work from behind them.

Watch energy and morale, not just health. A broken squad loses long before its last fighter falls.


A world that doesn't wait for you
A new map every game: four rival states, wild factions, bandit gangs and free lands in between.

Every faction remembers what you did. Reputation and fame open doors in one place and close them in another.

Explore towns and villages building by building: shops, healers, recruiters and people who need help.

The wilds are full of events with real choices and real costs. Helping someone doesn't always turn out the way you meant.


Intrigue around the thrones
Instead of a single main storyline there are several, each growing out of the politics of its own state.

Lords and rulers only trust you with their affairs once you've earned it. Whose side you take, and what comes of it, is up to you.


From nobody to legend
Fifty levels of growth, passive abilities taught by teachers across the world, and active abilities that depend on your weapon.

Artifacts with hidden properties waiting to be identified, legendary items, potions and scrolls.

Victory is a milestone, not the end: you can keep playing after it.


Play by your own rules
Starting resources, enemy strength and event rewards are tuned separately.

Ironman mode for those who want every decision to be final.
