Retro RPG Dungeon Crawler: A Party-Based Adventure Like FF1

Scarmonde is an upcoming 8-bit RPG set to launch on PC later this year, developed by indie creator Ephiam, known for Venaitura and To Aerthe. The game caters to fans of classic RPGs, offering a straightforward gameplay experience free from heavy storylines. Players take on the role of a hero summoned by the God of Dragons to form a four-person search party tasked with retrieving three Sacred Treasures. Similar to early Final Fantasy titles, players can recruit various characters, assign them different classes, and equip them with weapons, armor, and items found throughout their adventure. Scarmonde will be available on itch.io and Steam.

I’m gonna come and say it outright:

Scarmonde is for you if you love turnbased combat and dungeon-delving.

It has VERY LITTLE to almost no story, any “character development” is found in scarce interactions, and 95% of the game is exploring and finding neat equipment pic.twitter.com/5AIJoAerCG
