How it feels

A slow-burn tactical RPG where every decision carries weight in a grim medieval world.

What players say

Players say Bastard is a short adventure built on the Legends of Eisenwald engine. The reputation system forces binary evil-or-punishment choices, and combat feels incomplete with limited farming. Reviews split on whether the dark story carries the game or the restrictive design sinks it.
