Heads Will Roll

Heads Will Roll is an RPG with survival mechanics and turn-based combat, set during the Hundred Years War between England and France. You play an ordinary soldier who begins as a footman focused on survival. Through skill, cunning and perseverance, you can rise to become one of the era’s famous knights.

Combat and survival

Combat requires careful decisions and takes account of character stats and attributes, familiarity and proficiency with weapons, weapon length, fatigue, traumas and injuries. The game includes hundreds of items and consumables, and your choices outside battle matter as well.

Items and crafting

You can loot more than 150 items, including medieval weapons and armor, trinkets with unique effects, poisons, medical supplies and crafting materials. Combine supplies to make medical and utility items, as well as different types of crossbow ammunition.

Choices and relationships

Your actions have consequences. NPCs’ opinions of you change according to how you treat them and behave in and out of battle, opening or closing future interactions and sometimes triggering special events. You can also pursue relationships with several women, each with distinct personalities, views on life and preferences; winning them over can be as difficult as surviving the war.

Weapons and replayability

The arsenal includes dozens of swords, axes, maces, spears, throwing knives and crossbows. Each weapon has its own moveset, uses different stats and skills such as strength and agility, and has distinct features and counters.

Randomly generated elements vary your starting items and stats, enemies, choices and events between playthroughs, making separate runs different experiences.
