Wayborn (Playtest)

Downloadable version below

Explore vast procedural wilds and shape your hero with hundreds of specialisations and masteries. Seize every opportunity to grow stronger and fight through a growing bestiary. Rise as a true Wayborn, or fall to the wilds.

Set in a procedural world, Wayborn is a challenging, highly replayable action roguelite. Shape your hero through layered choices to create a unique build every run, both in playstyle and visual identity. 

With dozens of upgrades available, combine them to create a wide variety of builds and playstyles. Become a Drifter to chase world events, a Juggernaut to stack armor, a Drinker to amplify flask effects, or mix any number of other strategies together to forge your own path.

Important disclamer

This version of the game is a prototype and should not be treated as a full demo. Everything you see is subject to change, especially the art. The purpose of this playtest is to gather honest feedback from players. Some elements will definitely be unbalanced, but they’ll be refined over time.

All feedback, ideas, and suggestions are welcome on the game’s community Discord. By participating in this alpha, your contribution means a lot to me.

The initial art style of the game comes from a creator named Pixel Frog. I really love his work, and I’ll do my best to maintain that style as I create new assets in the future. More people will be credited as the project advances
