About the Game

 

Heal, investigate, and endure in Late Antiquity.

Rod of Asclepius is a historical RPG set in 4th-century Pannonia Secunda. You play a Roman medicus (doctor); diagnosing illnesses, gathering herbs, performing treatments, and making difficult calls as war and disease reshape everyday life. Your choices carry weight: patients remember, communities talk, and your reputation follows you.

What to expect

  • Authentic historical setting — Explore archaeologically researched Roman locations, customs, and medical practice.

  • Turn-based medical procedures — From surgery to remedies and aftercare, success depends on skill and judgment.

  • Resource management — Collect tools, medicinal plants, and rare ingredients to craft life-saving treatments.

  • Isometric 2.5D — A distinctive aesthetic that brings Late Antiquity to life.

  • Investigation and diagnosis — Question patients, read symptoms, and untangle medical mysteries.

  • Morality and reputation — Your ethics shape how people treat you; and who will trust you.

Can you survive as a healer in a collapsing empire?
