Beggar's Road

Beggar's Road is a darkly comic medieval roguelike set on the roads of 1407 Liège. You play a beggar with nothing, travelling between towns, forests and forgotten places, gathering companions and rationing scarce food and gold as you try to survive each run. The world’s medieval encounters draw on real history, with absurdities such as pigs put on trial and disputes over turnips turning violent.

Travel the world

Journeys take you through handcrafted locations in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, including towns, market towns, forests and ruins. Each trip brings new dangers, opportunities and people you may not be able to trust.

Make difficult choices

You make decisions in your interactions, from sensible or moral choices to downright stupid ones. Your decisions affect the run, your party and the trouble that follows.

Recruit a party

You can assemble a group of beggars, vagrants and scoundrels. Each companion has strengths as well as debts, troubles and a shady past.

Manage the factions

The Bishopric, Merchant Guilds and Bandits each have their own interests:

• The Bishopric: power, order and moral flexibility.
• Merchant Guilds: wealth, power and backroom deals.
• Bandits: freedom, violence and strong opinions.

You can support one faction, anger the others or try to balance your relationships with all three.

Survive each run

Manage food, gold and risk as you travel, choosing whether to take chances for greater rewards or play it safe and face a slower decline. Permadeath means a run can end for good, but each run tells a new story.
