About This Game

Blightstone is a challenging, dark fantasy turn-based roguelike that brings unique twists to combat through freedom of character placement, interactive environments and hardcore resource management. Dying, learning and meta-progression will be key to defeating enemies. Your mission is to protect and deliver the Earthglass Crystal to the infernal rift. Only then you can destroy the Demon Overlord and shatter the Blightstone itself.

Protect the crystal, if it dies the quest is over.

Deep tactical combat in alive scenarios full of possibilities

• Use interactable environmental hazards and objects, as well as weather elements to carefully read situations and strategize their every action. The smart use of the environment or weather effects can turn the tides of battle at the last minute! 

• Choose from a wide range of combat active and passive skills: melee, ranged, area of effect, delayed powerful skills, interruptions, traps, on event triggered skills, skills to summon characters, to control other characters too. These abilities are available to both players and enemies.

• Combat statuses like bleeding, poisoned, immobile, stunned, doomed and dozens more.

• Environment zones: ponds of water, tall grass to hide (can burn too!), quicksands to sink, holes to throw enemies in, and more!

• Random weather modifiers: fog hides the UI of the enemies, rain applies wet to all entities, wind decreases ranged accuracy, etc.

• Companions and summonable allies that work on their own, but can be controlled with certain skills.

• Environment entities that explode, cause damage on impact or affect the gameplay in emergent ways.

Hardcore strategy and resource-management

Strategic depth is also furthered through the systems-focused approach to adventuring in Blightstone. Careful management of not just health, but also blight levels, the various resources, equipment loadout, the roster of characters and their synergies would be critical to survive each run.

Crystal-based lore and meta-progression

Each run is procedurally-generated thus each map is different from one another. Through the various runs and scenarios encountered, players will get to meet a broad cast of characters, unravel the story behind the rift and earthglass, and gain more strength and powers each time.
