Hand-drawn dark fantasy adventure blends brutal combat, deep crafting, and player-driven storytelling in a haunting top-down RPG experience
Indie developer Tirazis and publisher Bigelo have officially launched the Kickstarter campaign for Isernsmith, a gothic top-down RPG that combines crafting-heavy progression, challenging combat, and choice-driven storytelling in a bleak world ruled by dark forces.
Inspired by classic dark fantasy RPGs and old-school action adventures, Isernsmith places players in a decaying world where survival depends on exploration, experimentation, and mastery of handcrafted weapons and tools. Players will descend into dangerous dungeons, gather rare resources, and forge their own path through a rebellion against a tyrannical order.
The newly launched Kickstarter campaign aims to help expand development and bring the team’s vision for Isernsmith to life, including additional content, worldbuilding systems, and gameplay features planned for launch.
