Alder's Blood: Prologue

About

Alder's Blood Prologue is a turn-based strategy RPG where survival hinges on tough choices. You play Charles, a desperate commoner scavenging for supplies in a decaying world. Each hunt against monstrous spawns demands careful resource management and tactical combat. Success means profit and survival. Failure means death or worse. The game blends slow-burn storytelling with grid-based battles, forcing you to weigh risks against rewards as you navigate a grim setting where hope is scarce. The shift in perspective from the original game’s hunter chief to an average survivor adds fresh depth. Shockwork Games leans into bleak atmosphere and punishing difficulty, with players often citing the tension between morality and survival as a standout. No Gravity Games released it on PC in 2020, and its niche blend of strategy and narrative has carved a loyal following among fans of gritty, low-fantasy RPGs.
