Ink Stains Games opened a Kickstarter campaign for Stoneshard recently. With over three weeks remaining, the $30,000 goal has already been reached. As a result, it’s now promised for Switch.
Stoneshard, an open-world roguelike RPG, has “immense tactical freedom, survival elements and an in-depth follower system, set in a grim, medieval world.” You’ll travel through a vast procedurally-generated medieval world, lead a Сaravan of allies and expand your following, upgrade and customize your character, and more.
Here’s more on Stoneshard, including a trailer:
