A ship is boarded by an orc warband on its way to Tirawyn, leaving you and a childhood friend imprisoned in a dungeon. Escape and set out through the fantasy world alone or in online co-op, following the main story or making your own way.
Explore a hand-crafted world for hidden locations, treasure, NPCs, and quests. Take on enemies and bosses with action-focused combat built around dodging, parrying, and combining weapons; quests can be discovered through exploration and conversation as well as pursued directly.
Progress by using weapons to level six independently developed combat classes, and build skills such as blacksmithing, cooking, farming, and alchemy. Gather and craft items, fish, and buy land to construct and decorate a home with collectible furniture.
Reviewers often enjoy the relaxed pace and the sense of discovery, especially finding secrets, quests, and loot by exploring off the beaten path. Many also praise the range of activities—from combat and skill leveling to crafting and decorating—and describe playing with friends or partners as a draw. Some reviewers find the quests unclear or repetitive, and opinions differ on how engaging the combat is.
Swords 'n Magic and Stuff is a cozy, cooperative, open world RPG centered around the joy of discovery.
Start your journey as a hopeful hero on their way to Tirawyn, a land of adventure. But along the way your ship is boarded by an orc warband and you're thrown into a dungeon with your childhood friend. Escape your captors and head out into a large open world to write your own story.
Swords 'n Magic and Stuff is all about exploration and adventure. Explore a densely packed, hand-crafted, open world and reignite your sense of discovery as you uncover new secrets around every corner.
Go it alone or bring along all of your friends in a cooperative online multiplayer experience featuring a simple multiplayer lobby system or host your own dedicated server. With locally saved characters, you carry your progress to your friends' servers so you never have to start over.
Who says cozy RPG's can't have depth? Swords 'n Magic's combat system is fluid, fun and action focused. Strafe, dodge, parry and attack without ever being rooted in place.
Combat is based around 6 different classes you can level up independently by simply using the different weapons tied to them. Dual wield any weapons you like and mix and match your gear to fine tune your playstyle. Become a splash potion-slinging rogue, a necromancer warrior, or even a bardic healer. The limit is your own creativity.
Swords 'n Magic and Stuff offers over 1500 unique items to discover and collect as you adventure through the world.
Dig through piles of dirt to discover bait for fishing, seeds for planting or magic cubes for donating to evil cults. Discover new chests each day with a randomized, respawning chest system that ensures you've always got new loot to plunder as you explore.
And the best part? All the loot is local to you, so you never have to fight over it with your friends.
Swords 'n Magic has hundreds of quests. Some quests are fetch quests, some are kill quests and some require you to lure hundreds of angry bees into the arms of a bee fanatic for a big, cozy bee hug.
Discover loads of secret quests by reading stashed away books, stumbling through hidden doors or paying close attention to the hundreds of NPC's all with unique dialog. Questing in Swords 'n Magic is as much of an adventure as anything else and it's not always laid out directly in front of you.
No RPG would be complete without the ability to craft. Swords 'n Magic and Stuff offers several crafting skills to level up, including blacksmithing, carpentry, tailoring, cooking, farming and alchemy.
Discover new recipes by leveling up your craft, visiting different shops, looting chests or completing quests. Harvest resources with tools, pick plants and herbs, start a farming empire or enjoy the simple life fishing on the local pond.
Discover plots of land for sale scattered all around Tirawyn. Buy one (or all of them) and stake your claim to your own little safe haven. Use blueprints for buildable structures to construct your first home, or design it from the ground up.
With a grid-free decoration system, you can freely decorate your plots however you see fit with hundreds of unique collectible furniture items. Want to cover your entire house in gems? Build a museum to show off rare items? Design a tavern for you and your friends to come back to after an adventure? Go for it.
