What is Kingsvein?

Kingsvein is a single-player, party-based RPG set in a subterranean dark fantasy world. You investigate a city that has fallen silent, exploring its castle and surrounding areas in an order you choose. Combat is turn-based, and your abilities also let you freeze rivers, break cave walls, and topple statues to open paths.

For you if...

+you enjoy mixing classes, upgradeable skills, and passive abilities
+you like hunting for secrets and revisiting previously explored areas

Not for you if...

−you prefer real-time action over turn-based party combat
−you want straightforward attacks rather than terrain manipulation and positioning
