Turn-Based RPG Splintered Coming to Steam Early Access This Month
Solo developer DotMake Studios announced that turn-based RPG Splintered will release on Steam Early Access on March 21, 2025. The game aims to blend classic 8-bit JRPGs with an evolving randomiser. The full release is currently planned for later this year.
Splintered starts with a classic RPG story where enemy forces attack, killing the king and stealing the kingdom’s sacred artifact, with the descendant of a legendary knight sent out to avenge the king and retrieve the artifact. However, upon the villain’s defeat, he is able to splinter the world and roll back time. This causes items, towns, and equipment to be misplaced while enemies share traits and abilities. As players work through these splintered worlds and get closer to a final showdown, they unlock new challenges, classes, and game modes.
The game sees players utilising a mixture of attacks, spells, and items in combat. As players level-up their equipment, they unlock new abilities or can enhance their nine core spells in different ways, mixing and matching equipment from three class archetypes: Paladin, Thief, and Mage. Various modes that can be unlocked include Roguelike Mode, Clairvoyance Mode, Chaos Mode, and more, with the game also including an optional in-game help feature to offer guidance should players find themselves stuck on where to go.
