Dark Fantasy Tactical RPG Myths from the Maw Announced

Developer Half Human Games announced Myths from the Maw, a dark fantasy roguelike tactical RPG. The game is in development for PC, Mac, and Linux, and available to wishlist on Steam. It is planned to undergo a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in early 2027.

Myths from the Maw sees players lead a team of mercenaries into a colossal starfallen fortress called the Maw, where they will encounter rival warbands, eldritch horrors, and the threat of corruption. Players can sacrifice HP at altars to alien gods, which are inspired by deadly sins, to obtain Bloodmarks that can empower their mercenaries and generate powerful synergies. Mercenaries can also fill their Bloodthirst Meter, which causes them to go into a frenzied state that further empowers their Bloodmarks.

The game’s tactical combat makes use of a Battle Clock, where each action costs time. Players can knock foes into environmental hazards, as well as inflict various status conditions such as burning, bleeding, and poison. However, sin and corruption will make mercenaries act out in narrative events, campsite actions, and battles. Those mercenaries that fully fall into sin will even abandon the player to join the Cult of the Maw, and may be faced off against in future expeditions.
