Description

Command, endure, and prosper in The Iron Oath, a turn-based tactical RPG where the fate of your mercenary company rests on your decisions. Customize your roster, build your renown, and discover the secrets that await in the medieval fantasy realm of Caelum.

History

The Iron Oath's development began in 2016, with our primary influences at the time being D&D and Darkest Dungeon. Originally, we had planned for combat to be more like a traditional JRPG, but we later decided to completely overhaul the combat, putting more of an emphasis on tactics.

In 2017 we ran a successful Kickstarter and have been working on the game full-time since then.

Features

  • Proper planning and execution is vital to your success. Deadly foes, traps, and destructible objects mean one misstep could be your party’s undoing.
  • Embark on a gritty fantasy saga across the realm of Caelum. Grow the renown of your company, uncover the realm’s secrets, and shape the fates of factions through strife and conflict.
  • Caelum is a sprawling, always changing realm. Cities fall and rise again as the Noble Houses vie for power, leading to new opportunities and unexpected perils.
  • Manage your guild’s roster, finances, and political relationships. Earn wealth and renown by completing contracts for Caelum’s vying factions, and invest in upgrading your organization
  • Assemble a well-rounded crew of warriors, rogues, and spellcasters. Build up their power, customize and complement their abilities, and become a force to be reckoned with.
  • You’ll face difficult decisions, and the path you follow won't always be popular. Your choices bear consequences that will alter the fates of your company and all of Caelum
