Banished Stone is a fresh new indie Action RPG from solo developer Daniel Paull, now available in Early Access on Steam. Set in the sideways fantasy world of the Ridge, it throws you into a 20+ hour adventure filled with monsters, mystery, and moral choices. Do you protect the people, uphold justice, or dive headfirst into a life of crime?
A World of Choice and Consequence
In the Ridge, the Company rules everything, and being a criminal is just another job. You’ve grown up on the run, with no parents and no ssafety, but that’s all about to change. You’re on a mission to uncover the truth about your father and carve out your own destiny. With ten player levels to climb and over 25 maps to explore, every choice counts.
Fight, Fly, and Make Friends
Combat in Banished Stone is real-time and rewards patience and timing. You can face off against mean-looking booses and waves of monsters, or get a little help from the locals. Dozens of NPCs can become allies in battle, and if that’s not enough, there are ten unique animals out there waiting to become your combat pets. Just bring snacks!
Got the Wings of Wisdom relic? Strap in, it lets you fly across the world, reaching new areas and dodging danger with ease. Whether you’re hoofing it or gliding through the skies, there’s always something new to see.
Your Journey, Your Style
The game’s got a casual vibe, play for five minutes or five hours. It’s up to you. The Ridge is packed with tasks to tackle, loot to hoard, and gear to upgrade. You can brew your own potions, forge high-tier weapons and armour, and pick up items that literally change the world. Use illumination and Darkness drops to switch between day and night, unlocking new monsters, content, and challenges.
Become the Hero, or the Wanted Outlaw
The more you fight, explore, and complete tasks, the more your bounty changes. Play it safe to lower you wanted level, or dive into risky missions to rack up the rewards (and the heat). Whether you’re chasing freedom or chaos, it’s all about how you want to play.
