Beaten Path Undergoes Kickstarter Campaign

Developer Peacebreak Studio launched a Kickstarter campaign for Beaten Path. The title is a turn-based tactical RPG taking inspirations from video games such as Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Triangle Strategy as well as other works such as Frieren and Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Beaten Path is set in the fantasy world of Celestia, and follows Panna, a young and amnesic adventurer trapped in a mysterious time loop. In her quest to break free from her predicament, Panna will have to recruit more allies and uncover her role in an ongoing conflict. Battles take place on grid-based maps, where unit positioning can take advantage of terrain and trigger combo attacks. The dual-job system allows players to assign a primary and secondary job to each unit. Players will be able to recruit over twenty units and customise them with over two hundred abilities and over one hundred weapons across ten weapon classes.

The Kickstarter campaign is looking for $20,000 in funding, and is set to run until September 18, 2025. Stretch goals include a new playable character, console versions, and additional language options. Those who pledge at least $20 will receive a digital copy of the game. Beaten Path is currently planned to release for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2026.
