About the Game

A PROMOTION YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR

You are the sole survivor of a caravan slaughter. You arrive at Corvarg not as a hero, but as a replacement. The town is in ruins, the locals are desperate, and the Tyrant King Reoryk doesn't care about your struggles — he only cares about his tribute. There are no prophecies here. Only a broken village, the dangers lurking in the valley, and a mysterious voice in your head pushing you forward.

OLD SCHOOL SOUL, MODERN HEART

Blades or Bets is a love letter to the hardcore classics. It fuses the immersive perspective of 90s dungeon crawlers with the addictive loot loop of modern Hack'n'Slash games and the unforgiving management of expedition RPGs.

KEY FEATURES

  • Tactical First-Person Combat: Inspired by the depth of classics like Wizardry, combat puts you face-to-face with the enemy. Every turn matters. Utilize a vast array of unique actions and strategic positioning to survive against a growing roster of distinct enemy variants.

  • The Loot Chase: A system built for hunters of the perfect roll. Drawing inspiration from genre-defining Action RPGs, items are complex. With hundreds of potential modifiers and a deep upgrading system, finding a rare weapon can change your entire playstyle.

  • Rebuild or Perish: You are the Steward. Manage scarce resources to restore and upgrade essential town buildings. Every shipment sent to the King is food taken from your people. Balance your duty to the Crown with the survival of your village.

  • High-Stakes Gambling: When skill isn't enough, turn to chance. Engage in unique gambling minigames to multiply your wealth or upgrade equipment. It’s a mechanic that can turn the tide of your journey—or strip you of everything.

  • A Living, Hostile World: A dynamic day-night cycle changes the threats you face. Something is watching from the deep forests and mines, patient and hidden.
