Unfinished Pixel is an independent studio situated in Barcelona, and it has just announced Blightstone - a dark and atmospheric tactical roguelike RPG that is set to launch on Steam Early Access next year.
As indie developers known for truly unique gaming experiences, the developers look forward to delivering an intense and challenging adventure through innovative combat mechanics and a compelling fantasy world.
Blightstone takes place in a world which, following the tear in its magical fabric letting loose malevolent forces to rocket through corrupted chaos, is utterly consumed by darkness.
Society is torn asunder, with tattered remnants of humanity huddled in isolation, until the discovery of a rare mineral that somehow can stem the tide of the encroaching blight.
Now, a clique of brave heroes must journey into the very teeth of danger to capture this valuable resource, fight off demonic entities, and take back their broken world.
It introduces a turn-based combat system without a grid; players must place their characters on the battlefield strategically and adapt to any changes in the environment.
The game requires resourceful decisions for success and tactical preparations against growing threats. This has the spreading blight increasingly escalate challenges with each battle, complicating survival while growing in strength each night.

Failure is very much a part of the journey. Heroes who can fall in battle leave behind shards of Earthglass to strengthen the guiding Crystal. This mechanic ensures that with each failure, players take a step closer to eventual success, encouraging persistence and refinement in strategy.
Blightstone combines roguelike elements with richly detailed characters and environments, creating a deeply immersive and challenging experience. "We want players to feel the pull of 'just one more run' as they dive into the game's strategic and skill-based gameplay," said Marcos Torrecillas and Raúl Vega, co-founders of Unfinished Pixel.
With its distinctive blend of combat and immersive storytelling, Blightstone promises to offer fans of roguelike RPGs a fresh and rewarding challenge. Head on below and watch the reveal trailer for a deep dive into the dark, tactical world of Blightstone.
