How it feels

A methodical turn-based tactical RPG where you guide a party through a politically intricate fantasy-steampunk world, balancing careful grid movement and character customization against a slow-burning mystery.

What players say

Players call Spellpowder a simple, pleasant tactical RPG in the style of Fire Emblem or XCOM, with a charming steampunk look and characters they grow to care about. Opinions split on depth: some find the combat and level design too samey or bare bones, while others appreciate the lack of complexity.
