What is Splintered?

In this pixel-art RPG, you play a knight's descendant seeking a stolen artifact after the king is killed. You explore towns, fight turn-based battles with attacks, spells, and items, and level up equipment to gain abilities. After the initial quest, you play through rearranged versions of the world with relocated items and towns and altered enemies.

For you if...

  • +you like old-school, single-character turn-based RPG combat
  • +you enjoy replaying quests in rearranged worlds
  • +you want equipment choices that change your combat abilities

Not for you if...

  • you prefer finishing a quest without replaying it
  • you want enemies to follow a predictable difficulty curve

What players say

89% of 313 reviews are positive

Players praise the classic RPG feel, equipment progression, and variety between runs. Some find the repeated quests tedious, while others say randomized enemy placement can put overly strong foes near the start.
