Splintered

Splintered is a turn-based RPG in which you set out to avenge your king and return your kingdom’s sacred artifact. You play as the descendant of a legendary knight, fighting enemies with attacks, spells and items. Completing the quest does not end the adventure: the villain then splinters your homeworld, randomizing it and rolling back time.

The splintered worlds

In each randomized world, items, towns and equipment are misplaced, while enemies combine traits and abilities in unpredictable ways. You adapt your tactics and playstyles to counter the combinations you encounter. The game includes dozens of enemies and endless randomized seeds.

The story begins as a tale of treachery and develops into a mystery involving secrets and truths. An optional in-game help feature lets you communicate with your father for guidance; exploring and talking to NPCs also provides hints.

Combat and progression

You use attacks, spells and items in classic turn-based combat. Leveling teaches you 9 core spells, which equipment can enhance, while upgrading equipment unlocks abilities that help shape your playstyle. Hunting enemies unlocks specialized passive talents.

You can mix and match equipment from three class archetypes: Paladin, Thief and Mage. Completing splintered worlds and conquering challenges unlocks further challenges, classes and game modes, bringing you closer to the final showdown.

Game modes

Challenges unlock modes that change how the game plays, including Roguelike Mode, Clairvoyance Mode and Instinct Mode. You can customize your preferred modes and randomized settings.

Art and audio

The game uses 8-bit retro-styled art and audio for a classic experience.
