Ringborn

Ringborn is a story-driven, top-down RPG set in a medieval world shaped by choice and consequence. You play as Idas, a woodcutter’s son who must rescue his father amid greed, broken oaths and flawed beauty. You fight in the pits of the Ivory Theatre for glory and honour, while trying to survive forces beyond your control; there is no chosen one, demi-god or world-ending plot.

The world

You journey across rugged snowfields, deserts, mountains, forests and plains, gathering resources to aid your quest. The world’s varied cast of characters responds to your choices, which also affect how the story unfolds.

Combat

Combat rewards skill and strategy. You combine slashes, parries and kicks against your opponents, with over 100 pieces of weapons and armour to choose from.

Skills and crafting

Idas starts with harvesting skills suited to a woodcutter’s son. Chop wood and mine rock, improving your skill to gather advanced materials; learn crafting and combat to broaden your options. You use harvested materials to make weapons and armour for the arena, and can develop these skills to regain control over your circumstances.
