A love letter to classic Infinity Engine cRPGs from the creators of ATOM RPG, Swordhaven is a turn-based \ RTwP, party-based, dialogue-heavy 85+ hour long adventure set in a world of Nova Drakonia.
From the developers of ATOM RPG, Swordhaven is a love letter to Infinity Engine classics such as Baldur's Gate 1-2 & Icewind Dale, as well as other old-school cRPGs including Arcanum and Gothic.
The classic isometric look and feel of Swordhaven is combined with modern quality-of-life features such as the ability to smoothly transition between turn-based and RTwP modes and much more. The game focuses strongly on player freedom, complex roleplaying, and a deep, lore-rich story set in an original world reminiscent of 17th-century Earth.
Shipbound and travelling to Nova Drakonia, a mysterious, dinosaur-infested frontier of the Empire, you soon find your journey is anything but ordinary. A chance encounter with a fellow passenger entrusts you with a mysterious, possibly arcane artefact, gradually turning your mundane voyage into an exploration of your world's hidden past and leading you towards decisions that may shape its future.
From the sprawling politics of the colonisation-driven Empire to the local rivalries of nobles, clergy, and restless natives; from centuries of forgotten history to intricate religions and cults; from unique cultures to elusive races long thought to be myth; and from otherworldly plots to secrets yet undiscovered... everything awaits you, if you choose to seek it.
What makes Swordhaven unique beyond its world-building, are the systems we've honed over ten years of indie RPG development that started with the original Fallout-inspired ATOM RPG franchise.
classless roleplaying system gives every stat and skill a meaningful niche, allowing for limitless character builds. Extra treasure and hidden secrets reward the observant; dialogue and lore favour the clever; intimidation and brute force empower warriors; and rogues have countless opportunities to bluff, steal... and more.
