Scarred Steel

Summary

A brutal medieval roguelite where every scar tells your story. Permanent injuries, hard choices, and bloody duels shape your path in a dying world.

Core Concept

Scarred Steel is a turn-based, story-rich, brutal medieval roguelite with permanent injuries and player-driven choices. Inspired by the likes of Heads Will Roll and Dark Souls, but designed to stand on its own with a deeper focus on scars, adaptation, and a dynamic world that reacts to the player’s journey.

Key Features

• Permanent Injuries That Change GameplayEvery injury impacts how you fight. Lose a leg? You’re slower, rely on ranged attacks, or mounts. Lose a hand? You adapt with daggers, shields, or dirty tricks. Scars are permanent; no magical healing here.
• Choices That Shape Your WorldThe world reacts to your actions. Are you merciful or cruel? Are you feared, respected, or hated? NPCs, factions, and quests change based on your decisions.
• Dynamic, Replayable StoriesProcedural events, rival NPCs with history, and moral dilemmas create unique stories every run. No two playthroughs are the same.
• Brutal Medieval SettingGritty, grounded combat and a world filled with plague, war, and betrayal. Potential for post-apocalyptic or plague-ridden medieval themes.
• Pixel Art Visual IdentityStylized 2D pixel art — clean but gritty. Visuals that support brutal tone without unnecessary clutter.
