Today, developer Unfinished Pixel announced that their dark medieval fantasy turn-based roguelite role-playing game title ‘Blightstone’ is now available on PC via Steam’s Early Access programme—with a 20% off its 15.99 MSRP til 3 February.
Blightstone is a challenging, turn-based strategy with a roguelike edge. Lead a team of adventurers to destroy the Blightstone and free the world from corruption. Use free movement, dynamic environments and collectable skills to save the crystal, and save the world. Prepare to die, again and again.
Have a gander below for more details on Blightstone.
Blightstone reimagines turn-based strategy with freeform movement, volatile elemental clashes and a time-twisting structure where every run carves a new scar into a dying world.
In Blightstone, players command a party of heroes bound together by a living crystal at the heart of a dying world. As corruption spreads and the land fractures, each run becomes a battle against inevitability. Through hard-earned skills, powerful equipment and evolving synergies, players must navigate tactical battlefields reshaped by firestorms, frozen currents and crackling lightning. One flawless moment can turn the tide – one misstep can doom the entire run. Survival demands more than strength – it demands mastery, adaptation and the courage to face the darkness.
In the world of the Blightstone you’ll find deep strategy, blended seamlessly with roguelike progression. Your mission? To protect the Earthglass Crystal, and deliver it to the Infernal Rift. Only by doing this will you be able to destroy the demon overlord Korghul, and shatter the Blightstone itself.
Die, die, and die again. Cunning and keen wit (though looking at our options even a solitary spark of wit will have to suffice) are key to saving this realm.
Use the environment to your advantage with objects, enemies and even the weather itself providing strategic opportunities and challenges. Each failure provides invaluable opportunity to learn and collect new skills to help your next adventure.
The Environment Is Yours to Command: Hide in long grass or burn it to stop enemies using it for cover. Gather enemies in water to amplify electric attacks. Use every advantage you can get to shatter the Blightstone.
Harness the Weather to Your Advantage: Dynamic weather will have an impact on Adventurer’s strategies. Dense fog obscures the battlefield, rain will amplify electric attacks and strong winds will affect accuracy. It can bring as many benefits as it does drawbacks, as long as you pay attention.
Master a vast skillset: Unlock a wide range of active and passive combat skills for our troop of adventurers and for the Earthglass crystal itself. Mater melee, ranged, area of effect and grappling skills, and combine them for heavy-hitting combos.
Status effects that sting: Bleeding, poison, binding, stun or burn, dozens of combat conditions can swing the course of each battle. Just remember it won’t always swing your way!
Blightstone invites players to step into a world on the brink and shape their legend through unrelenting tactical trials. The corruption is rising. The cycle is breaking. And only those willing to fight – and fail – can hope to bring the darkness to its end.
