Splintered Leaving Early Access in October

by · Published · Updated

Developer DotMake Studios announced that turn-based RPG Splintered will leave Steam Early Access in October. Before the release of the game’s full version, the Early Access version will see a price increase in September. To celebrate the recent update to version 0.9, the game is 20% off until September 1, 2025.

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 utilise 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.

Fascinated by the screens since I saw them, video games are a sorcery I quickly became obsessed with. This passion culminated with the discovery of the RPGs. At that time, they were likely the sole titles where story and world building mattered as much as gameplay. Now, I am writing about them, especially my favorite ones: the JRPGs!
