Hired Blade is a tactical turn based RPG set in a medieval fantasy world. Become a warchief of your own mercenary band, recruit hired blades, take on contracts, fight bandits and monsters. Embrace the hard life of a true gritty sellsword!
Explore a harsh open world where bandits and rogues roam and pillage the battle-torn land, town guards are itching for a reason to kick you out, weary peasants avoid you like the plague, and enemy soldiers and rival warbands patrol the roads. Escort caravans and travel from town to town in search of coin and new contracts.
Clash in brutal battles on procedurally generated, hex-based maps, where each victory is earned through the lives and scars of your exhausted mercenaries, the steel of their rusted weapons, and the last strength of the battered armor they wear.
Strip the fallen of their gear, manage equipment, and train your fighters for the next encounter. Hone their skills and choose new perks for every hired blade in your company.
When the fighting is done and the relative safety of a town is within reach, you and your men can finally enjoy some well-earned rest. Mercenaries crave hot food, dice games, fistfights, and other pleasures. Play mini-games to restore morale before embarking on your next journey.
