15 itemsAbout the Game
From the developers of Fabled Lands, comes a new adaptation of a beloved gamebook series — darker, deadlier, and more tactical than ever.
Enter the world of Blood Sword, a tactical role-playing game that brings the cult-classic gamebooks by Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson to life in a richly atmospheric, narrative-driven experience.
Lead a party of heroes through a deadly campaign across a war-torn realm steeped in dark magic, ancient secrets, and fate-bound prophecy. Whether you play as a cunning rogue, a battle-hardened warrior, a pious mystic, or a fire-wielding mage, Blood Sword lets you craft your build, choose your path, and confront your destiny.
⚔️ Tactical, Party-Based Combat
Command up to four unique heroes in grid-based turn-based battles. Use positioning, powerful abilities, and synergistic tactics to overcome brutal enemies — from undead cultists to demonic entities.
📖 A Story Rich in Lore and Choice
Inspired by the original gamebooks, Blood Sword offers a branching narrative with branching choices, moral decisions, and exploration that can lead to alternate outcomes — including character deaths and new story paths. 
🔥 Build Your Heroes, Master Your Class
Choose from diverse skill trees and disciplines. Mix classes and spells to shape your party’s strengths — whether through brute force, subtle magic, divine favor, or underhanded tricks.
💀 Permadeath, High Stakes, and Legacy
Every choice can cost you — your party members can fall in battle, and consequences echo throughout the campaign. Your triumphs and failures both become part of your legend.
🧭 Explore a Grim Fantasy World
Traverse detailed maps, investigate story notes, and uncover ancient secrets across cities, dungeons, wastelands, and ruins. Your journey is non-linear — and shaped by your decisions.
