About Secrets of Temple Isle
Secrets of Temple Isle is an adventure RPG set across shifting biomes and crumbling ruins. Developed by Moses Doyle, it launched on PC in March 2026 as a solo experience. You explore environments ranging from dense jungles to arid deserts, fighting enemies in third-person combat with customizable weapons and abilities. A standout feature is the base-building mode, where you craft and decorate spaces using loot from the world. The game blends exploration, combat, and creative design without multiplayer elements.
Gameplay
Your day-to-day involves hacking through vegetation, solving environmental puzzles to access new areas, and battling foes with melee strikes and elemental spells. Combat is fluid but formulaic, attacks scale with gear upgrades, and each enemy type has a weak point to exploit. After fights, you salvage materials to upgrade weapons or return to your base to add structures. The design system lets you arrange furniture, lighting, and terrain, though it lacks deep crafting complexity. Sessions often feel like a loop of fight, gather, build, with occasional boss battles breaking the rhythm.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2 out of 5, with 78% completion and 15 hours average playtime. Community moods lean curious and determined, but some note frustration with repetitive combat. Critics praise the vibrant visuals and building freedom but call the pacing uneven. A Reddit user wrote, “The base design is where this game shines, but the same three enemy types show up for 10 hours.” Achievements total 37, with 13 requiring specific build goals. Steam ratings are 86% positive, though 12% of players abandon it past the first biome.
PlayPile's Take
Secrets of Temple Isle is worth trying for players who enjoy exploration and creative outlets. It sells for $39.99, with most finishing it in under 20 hours. The 37 achievements push you to experiment with builds, but don’t mask the game’s lack of lasting challenge. If you’re okay with a light story and slower combat, it’s a solid midweek pick. Skip if you crave deep RPG systems or fast-paced action.
