Bonfire

Bonfire is a bite-sized tactical RPG about journey and failure. Hildie and her group of heroic misfits travel through a desolate world that is well past saving, pursuing a potentially hopeless quest to destroy the Faceless Overlord of the Mournfolk. The procedurally generated game combines rapid turn-based battles with a gloomy story that has an ending.

Tactical battles

Combat uses simple rules to create complex tactical choices. Instead of navigating menus, you use contextual abilities and tactical items; each click is a significant move, and each encounter is a puzzle to solve. Success depends on your setup and tactical flexibility rather than luck, though you may have to make the best of a situation. Decisions are final, and mistakes can be fatal.

The journey

You travel through procedurally generated locations, expand your options in combat and meet odd survivors while trying to survive. The game is designed for endless play, but its story reaches an ending.

Build your party

You can experiment with different character builds and party compositions. Classes are built around subtle synergies that can work in any combination, and your growing pool of heroes, abilities and items opens up more setups beyond common RPG archetypes.

Short, difficult runs

Bonfire is challenging, with runs designed to be short enough for quick adjustments after failure. The description also mentions showers of blood and coins.
